Bethlehem Steel Shipbuilding

Names Roland V. Danielson —Hollinshead De Luce Retires

The retirement of Hollinshead de Luce, manager of ship development and sales in

Bethlehem Steel Corporation's shipbuilding department, has been announced by William

C. Brigham, vice president in charge of ship- building.

At the same time, Mr. Brigham announced that Roland V. Danielson will become man- ager, ship development and sales and assume the responsibilities for new ship design de- velopment and marketing, which have been fulfilled by Mr. de Luce since 1962.

Mr. Danielson, presently assistant man- ager, ship development and sales, will remain at the Sparrows Point, Md., shipyard, and the new construction sales office in New

York City will be discontinued.

Mr. de Luce is completing 38 years of service with Bethlehem Steel. A native of

Bayville, N.Y., he was graduated from Webb

Institute of Naval Architecture and began his career with Federal Shipbuilding and

Dry Dock Company, and then Fairbanks,

Morse & Company. He joined Bethlehem in 1939 in what was then the design depart- ment of the Fore River (Mass.) Yard, and which later became the central technical di- vision (CTD).

Continuing work in CTD, Mr. de Luce was appointed assistant naval architect in 1948, naval architect in 1958, and chief naval ar- chitect in 1959. Mr. Brigham noted that it was during the postwar period of 1949-62 that CTD developed twice as many merchant and naval designs as all other U.S. shipyards combined, and one-third more than all inde- pendent naval architect firms combined. "Thirty-seven percent of all oceangoing ships built in U.S. shipyards during this pe- riod were built to CTD designs," he said.

Four years later, he became chief of basic ship design and in 1971, he was appointed assistant manager, ship development and sales. In this position, he has provided liaison between the New York ship sales office, CTD, and the Sparrows Point Yard.
