Abstract
The RV INVESTIGATOR is a quiet research vessel that has recently been built for CSIRO, the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization. The vessel has stringent noise and vibration criteria, particularly with respect to underwater noise. Significant efforts were required in order for the vessel to be properly designed, constructed, and tested. This paper describes the efforts that were undertaken to achieve the noise goals and also presents the results of testing.
