One mention so far. The message has its own page: NOAAORR-7830. This page grows when the name is issued again.

Entrance to Delaware Bay.
1. R/V RUSSELL W. PETERSON from 12-13 May 2008 was out doing a bird survey at the entrance to Delware Bay. They got caught in a storm and the spuds broke off. The R/V floated ashore but the spuds were nowhere to be found. NOAA is sending out a survey vessel to look for the spuds and have asked us to help reduce their possible search area. The concern is that the spuds may be a navigation hazard.
2. THREAT: OTHER. COMMODITY: THE SPUDS.

Not for navigation. The name is read automatically from official navigational warnings; a common name can belong to more than one ship, and a message may describe work the vessel is doing (cable, survey) rather than something that happened to it. Mariners must use official NAVAREA broadcasts and their national MSI service.
