The overall objective of this cruise was to check the operation of all the geophysical systems. Each system was to be checked out and modified where necessary until the best possible data were obtained. The acoustic characteristics of the vessel were to be checked by towing the various sensors at different speeds. When all of the systems were operating properly, data was to be obtained as part of the geophysics profiling program on Georges Bank.
