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:
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
