General Comments:
Name change from SEDCO/BP 471 to JOIDES Resolution confirmed for 1996.
From Leslie Peart at Deep Earth Academy [deepearthacademy@oceanleadership.org]. Here are the answers to your questions straight from Captain Alex Simpson, who's aboard [JOIDES Resolution] right now.
1. The Science Community affectionately called the SEDCO BP/471 "JOIDES Resolution" soon after sailing from Pascagoula where the science conversion was done back in 1985. However, the vessel did not officially change her name till 1996.
2. I can confirm that IMO No.742308 is correct
3. Call sign is D5BC
