We go all out to get your vessel up, out, and back in business in the least possible time, at the lowest possible cost. Your ship is here today, gone tomorrow—ship- shape and seaworthy. Inside, outside, topside, or bottomside.

That's Lockheed service. 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week if necessary.

We can drydock your vessel or moor it for dockside repairs. And repair every- thing on everything, from tugs to tankers to Naval vessels.

When your ship needs anything from top to bottom, please get a time and cost es- timate from Lockheed's manager of ship repair, Ext. 631. That's his line.
