U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Career
Mobjack joined the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey later in 1946 as the survey ship USC&GS Pioneer (OSS 31). Pioneer operated in the Pacific and the Indian Ocean and made important discoveries related to the theory of plate tectonics. She was sold for scrap on 4 May 1966 to National Metal and Steel Corporation, Terminal Island, California.

Famous quotes containing the words coast, survey and/or career:
“Too many Broadway actors in motion pictures lost their grip on success—had a feeling that none of it had ever happened on that sun-drenched coast, that the coast itself did not exist, there was no California. It had dropped away like a hasty dream and nothing could ever have been like the things they thought they remembered.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
“In a famous Middletown study of Muncie, Indiana, in 1924, mothers were asked to rank the qualities they most desire in their children. At the top of the list were conformity and strict obedience. More than fifty years later, when the Middletown survey was replicated, mothers placed autonomy and independence first. The healthiest parenting probably promotes a balance of these qualities in children.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
