Collins has been appointed general man-ager of the corporation's Boston ship repair yard to succeed Law-rence J. Mclnnis who has retired.

In announcing Mr. Mclnnis' re-tirement, Mr. Strohmeier lauded him for "39 years of loyal and effi-cient service."

In October 1957 he was assigned to special duties as a member of the general manager's staff on the yard's nuclear-power project, which preceded construction by the Quin-cy yard of the nuclear-powered missile-cruiser USS Long Beach, the world's first atomic surface warship, and the frigate USS Bain-bridge, the world's first nuclear vessel of that class. Mr. Collins was transferred to the Boston yard in 1964 as assistant to manager, and late in 1965 was named assistant manager. He is a member of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, the Maritime Associ-ation of Boston, the International Trade Center of Boston and the Emergency Planning Committee of the Port of Boston.
