Abstract		
Description		V-3608 was the third leg of Phase I in the cooperative program with
			the Peoples' Republic of China.Approximately 700 nautical miles os
			single channel and 375 miles of 3-channel data were digitally recorded.
  			A total of 58 sonobuoys were recorded.  Continuous topography, magnetics 
			and gravity were collected along the track.

Note:			Althought the description above from the cruise report says that V3608 
			was the third leg I believe it was the second leg and V3614 was the third leg.

COMMENT:  
The cdp gathers were made assuming a constant 50 meters between shots.
The cdp number was assigned the shot number of the far trace in the
gather.  The time in the stack header was assigned the time of the
near trace in the header.  Some dates/times in the headers are incorrect.
They have been corrected in the cdpnav files.  Times are GMT.
