New Brochure Describes Repair Facilities At Norfolk Shipbuilding

A new, four-color brochure containing scores of photographs and describing the ship repair and drydocking services offered by Norfolk Shipbuilding & Drydock Corporation is now available at no cost from the Virginia shipyard. One of the largest ship repair complexes on the U.S. East Coast, Norshipco provides the international m a r i t i m e industry with 24-hour services, with the emphasis on quality of work performance.

That commitment to quality has been emphasized with the completion of a $27-million project that permits maintenance and repair for some of the world's largest oceangoing vessels. Highlight of the project is the Titan— one of the world's largest and most modern floating steel drydocks.

Norshipco is situated on the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, and e n t e r e d t h r o u g h the Port of Hampton Roads. Departing vessels can proceed into Chesapeake Bay without encountering bridges.

The yard's work force is more than 4,000 and growing.
