We're writing the book on modern Mine

Countermeasure Vessels

With over 40 years of shipbuilding experience, Marinette Marine is an established leader in medium size ship design and construction. No other shipbuilder is better equipped to help the U.S. Navy close the mine- sweeper gap. Our new 69,700 sq. ft. ship erection facility is dedicated to building: • MCM Avenger Class Mine Counter- measure Vessels • CMH-108, a new class coastal minehunter

In addition, Marinette Marine com- puter aided design capability (CAD) is larger than any other shipbuilder's in the United States. All this has made Marinette Marine synonymous with mine countermeasure vessels. /Harinette /Marine

New Products Protect/Restore

Expensive Equipment—

Literature Available

ITW Philadelphia Resins Corporation of

Montgomeryville, Pa., is offering a brochure on a new family of space age products that provide long-term protection for new or reconditioned equipment, with excellent resistance to abra- sion, impact, cavitation, corrosion, erosion and chemical attack. Typical industrial/marine ap- plications are illustrated in the publication.

No heat, pressure or special tools are needed to create an integral bond between the titanium- based, machinable repair compound (or the severe-service ceramic liquid or putty) and new or worn equipment. The company reports abra- sion resistance, per ASTM D406, is five times better than competitive products.

Detroit/Windsor Form

International Port Corporation

The Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority and the Windsor (Ontario) Harbour Commis- sion have entered into an agreement to create a new international port corporation, the Detroit/

Windsor Port Corporation (DEWIN).

The action marks the first time in North

America that a U.S. and Canadian port have combined their resources, thus increasing the volume and diversification of cargo movements through their port areas. The two cities are directly across the Detroit River from each oth- er, 869 nautical miles from the entrance to the

St. Lawrence River.

Cat Pumps Introduces Two

New Stainless Steel Pumps —Literature Available

Shown are a Cat stainless steel pulsation dampener, a stainless steel plunger pump and various CPC pressure regulators.

Cat Pump Corporation of Minneapolis has announced the introduction of two new stainless steel plunger pumps, the Model 651 rated 7 gpm at 3,000 psi, and the Model 1051 rated 10 gpm at 2,200 psi. Both models feature all 316 stainless steel wet-end construction including manifold head, valve plugs, valves and seats, seal cases, male and female adapters, and plunger retainers for corrosion resistance, chemical compatability, and 180 F operating capabilities.

The drive end of these pumps is constructed of a forged, nitrated chrome-moly crankshaft, stainless steel plunger rods with zamak cross- heads, zamak connecting rods, and heavy-duty, tapered roller bearings—the same high con- struction standard in all Cat pumps to provide hours of continuous duty and maximum return on investment.

These lightweight, compact pumps are said to be easy to install, energy efficient, and need only simple tools to do on-site periodic mainte- nance.
