Panel On Shipbuilding

Research/Development

The National Research Council's

Maritime Transportation Research

Board, under the chairmanship of

Edgar F. Luckenbach Jr., recently established a Panel on Shipbuild- ing Research and Development.

The panel's assignment, under the sponsorship of the Maritime Ad- ministration of the U.S. Depart- ment of Commerce is to determine what Government and industry re- search will enable the industry to achieve the goals of the President's

Shipbuilding Program. One key question concerns the types of in- centives required for the industry to expand its own research and de- velopment efforts.

In recent weeks the panel has visited several shipyards, including

Litton's new yard at Pascagoula,

Miss., the Naval Shipyard at Ports- mouth, Va., and the Newport News

Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com- pany in Newport News, Va.

The chairman of the Shipbuild- ing Research and Development

Panel is Dr. John C. Warner, presi- dent emeritus, Carnegie Institute of

Technology. The members are:

Capt. Edward S. Arentzen, USN (ret.) ; Joseph D. Deal Jr., director of market development, Newport
