YOU WIN

WITH A

FULL HOUSE

AT LOCKHEED

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.
