Ewing Named Submarine

Design Manager At

Newport News Shipbuilding

Hugh C. Ewing Jr. has been ap- pointed manager, submarine con- struction design project, for New- port News Shipbuilding. He is re- sponsible for the completion of all design division responsibilities relating to the 688-Class subma- rine contracts.

Mr. Ewing is a 1948 graduate of the shipyard's Apprentice

School, and also was graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Insti- tute. Prior to this promotion, he held a number of engineering and design positions at Newport News, including the position of engineer- ing project manager. compared with the specifications.

The 27 separate design steps are presented in a logical sequence, which allows for iterations and feed-back at the appropriate stages of propeller and hull de- sign and model testing.

SSC-292, "Report on Ship Vi- bration Symposium '78," is a sum- mary of the Ship Vibration Sym- posium held in Arlington, Va., in

October 1978. It succintly pre- sents the state-of-the-art in ship- board vibration and noise, and of- fers key conclusions and recom- mendations reached at the sym- posium.

SSC-293, "Underwater Nonde- structive Testing of Ship Hull

Welds," is a state-of-the-art study of underwater inspection tech- niques. Radiography, ultrasonic inspection, and magnetic particle testing are particularly discussed, along with necessary modifica- tions for underwater applications.

Obviously an exaggeration today but very true when this ad appeared in 1958 during our 90th year of building steam engines.

With increasing shortages and rising prices of petroleum fuel, a growing number of shipowners are considering the practicality of returning to readily available coal...and that means steam engines by Skinner!
