We re now

TRACOR MARINE'

You won't miss our 'MAS'

We've grown and changed a lot since 1960, when Marine

Acoustical Services was formed, to provide vessel and underwater-sound engineering services to the emerging oceanographic research industry.

In 1968, after being acquired by TRACOR, Inc., we contracted our name to MAS-and three years later evolved into TRACOR/MAS, with the opening of our shipyard in Port Everglades.

We believe that "Tracor Marine" is a name that reflects better the wide range of marine services we presently offer (and plan to expand). So think of us as Tracor Marine. . . encompassing two operating divisions:

SHIPYARD DIVISION - Offering a full range of ship repair and overhaul service (every day of the week, around the clock), this division serves the marine in- dustry throughout the Caribbean area, with a 1,000- ton floating dock, our 4,200-ton Syncrolift, complete machine and metal working shops, and skilled marine craftsman.

OCEAN TECHNOLOGY DIVISION - Carrying on the work of the "old" MAS, this division serves not only the U.S. Navy but numerous commercial clients.

Underwater sound is still a big part of Ocean Tech- nology Division activity, but we also provide expertise in such areas as research vessel operations, hydro- graphic surveys, core drilling, pollution prevention and control, ocean engineering and construction, and sub- marine cable installations.

The future? Significant growth and new services— but all will be marine-oriented: Tracor Marine-oriented.
