Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1953, and two years later returned to Hoboken as a planner and then estimator.

In 1957, he was assigned to ship- building headquarters then located in New York City as assistant to construction engineer, and later as technical assistant to the vice presi- dent. In 1966 he returned to the

Hoboken yard as a ship superinten- dent and became assistant project superintendent at the San Francisco yard later that year.

Mr. Blackinton was promoted to general superintendent at Bethle- hem Steel's shipyard in Beaumont in 1969 and subsequently served there as plant engineer, methods engineer and assistant to the gener- al manager. He returned to the Ho- boken yard as general superinten- dent in 1978 and the following year was named general manager.
