McLintock To Retire

From Kings Point

Rear Adm. Gordon McLintock,

Superintendent of the United

States Merchant Marine Academy since April 1, 1948, will retire from government service on June 15, 1970.

Admiral McLintock's retirement brings to a close 50 years of active association with the sea that start- ed at the age of 17 in the British

Merchant Navy.

The Academy under his supervi- sion has been nationally accredited and has achieved the stature and prestige which led the United

States Congress to establish it on the same basis as the Academies at West Point and Annapolis and the Air Force Academy. He was the guiding force behind the con- struction of the United States Mer- chant Marine Memorial Chapel at

Kings Point and the collection by public subscription of nearly three quarters of a million dollars to build same. A second major build- ing was dedicated December 1968 when the new three-story library was completed.

Born in Durham, England, the

Kings Point Superintendent began his career as a cadet and rose suc- cessively through the various of-

Naval architecture, marine engineering and marine surveying

We handle many jobs from the hull up, including: fishing boats; hydrofoils; tug boats; offshore drilling platforms; port facilities; underwater vehicles; ship conversions, and marine electronic systems.
