USNS "Indomitable" (T-AGOS-7) was a Stalwart class Modified Tactical Auxiliary General Ocean Surveillance Ship of the United States Navy.
History
Stalwart class ships were originally designed to collect underwater acoustical data in support of Cold war anti-submarine warfare operations in the 1980s. The ship was decommissioned on December 2, 2002, and was transferred to the NOAA where it was refitted and renamed for the McArthur II for Coast Guard hydrologist William Pope McArthur. The McArthur II, which was launched on May 20, 2003, [ [http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3738/is_200401/ai_n9368333 findarticles.com] ] replaced the NOAA research vessel NOAAS McArthur I, which in turn was privatized for use by Blackwater Worldwide.
NOAAS McArthur II
The current McArthur is nicknamed the "Big-Mac" while its predecessor the smaller McArthur is now nicknamed the "Mini-Mac" [ [http://www.moc.noaa.gov/mt/science/Welcome%20Aboard.pdf NOAA Ship McArthur II / R-330 Welcome aboard Packet - noaa.gov - Retrieved December 27, 2007] ]
