3 floating drydocks • to 18,000 tons

YOU WIN

WITH A

FULL HOUSE

AT LOCKHEED

I

Fast repairs are in the cards, because we work 24 hours a day, using three shifts if necessary, to get your vessel repaired fast, but good! We also have three floating drydocks to 18,000 tons, plus plenty of pier space which gives us room to ma- neuver! And we have special equipment and special skills to make our workers more efficient.

So you could say the docks are stacked in your favor at Lockheed, couldn't you? Or would you? Anyhow, we're busy because we deliver—on time, on target, on the money. We're never too busy to handle your ship when it comes in. So toss us a hawser — we will tie you up for the least possible time.

IHI To Construct

Huge Ore-Oil Carrier

For Greek Shipowners

Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy In- dustries Co., Ltd. has reported the receipt of an order from P.J. Gou- landris and Sons of Greece for an ore-oil carrier of 220,000 dead- weight tons.

The proposed vessel will be the third of its type and the 54th new building by IHI for the same own- ers. Delivery by the Japanese shipyard is scheduled for March 1974.

Campbell Machine

Signs Navy Contract

Campbell Machine, Inc., confirm- ed signing the largest single Navy repair contract ever awarded to the San Diego shipbuilding and repair firm. Totaling $1,638,717, the three-months' contract covers regular overhaul and drydocking for the Navy's general repair ship

Ajax (AR-6), according to George

J. Soares, Campbell president. "This job will help stabilize our shipyard employment at better than 500 persons, because it comes at a season of the year when rou- tine repair work generally falls off," Mr. Soares stated. It can also be expected to account for an em- ployment increase during the con- tract term by as much as 10 per- cent," he added.

This is Campbell's second Navy repair contract to top the $1,000,- 000 mark. The first, awarded near- ly a year ago for $1,195,000, cov- ered work on the USS Cleveland.

The Ajax is just back from 10 years of duty overseas, where she performed general repair functions for a variety of auxiliary vessels of the fleet. She is 530 feet long overall, has a 73-foot beam, and a heavy displacement of 16,380 tons.

Data Sheet Available

From Alden Electronic

Alden Electronic & Impulse Re- cording Equipment Co., Inc.,

Westboro, Mass., announces the availability of a two-page data sheet describing the OSR-219T

Precision Data Recorder.

The OSR-219T Precision Data

Recorder, with built-in program- mer/transceiver, couples directly with a vessel's transducer to make a complete system for bottom map- ping, sub-bottom profiling, sonar recording or spectrum analyzer dis- play.

The CL coupling:

It's bolt less and reduces flange to flange hookup time from hours to minutes.

When you use CL Couplings, you eliminate the hazards, expense and inefficiency of the drift pin, nut and bolt methods of connect- ing hoses. To speed hook-up time, CL couplings have rapid-action helical cams. Once the coupling is installed, the cams (from 2 to 6) are tightened over the mating flange with a short rod or the activating wrench. A quick locking action and you're ready to transfer cargo. There are no bolts or nuts to tighten and no holes to align. Coast Guard approved and use tested by America's largest refineries and shippers, CL couplings can withstand the most rugged conditions. Each CL coupling has been designed for 150 lb. ASA service. In fact, couplings are hydrostatically tested to 450 psi as leakproof. "O" Ring seals available in Buna N, Viton,

Neoprene and other materials.

One more point. Since hook-up time is substantially reduced, the cumulative savings in time will more than make up for the cost of CL couplings.

NEW HYDRAULIC CL

COUPLING can be opened and closed in seconds through remote controlled action of its helical cams.

Ideal for use on lines of 12" and larger, the couplings have been designed for 150 lb. ASA service and hydrostatically tested to 450 psi as leakproof. 300 psi is also available.

IN EVERY FIELD THERE'S A LEADER.

IN QUALITY COUPLINGS. IT'S THE CL COUPLING.
