LARGEST TO ENTER AMERICAN YARD: The London

Lion, a 252,000-deadweight-ton tanker, is the largest ship ever to enter an American shipyard. She was berthed at Newport News Shipbuilding, Newport News, Va., for minor repairs on her maiden voyage from the Persian

Gulf to the Virgin Islands. Here, without cargo, she draws 26 feet. When fully loaded, the ship draws 66 feet. Newport News Shipbuilding plans to build ships like this to help the nation's energy shortage.

Lloyd's Register Approves

Deep Diving Equipment

The Ocean Engineering Department of Lloyd's

Register has approved the plans for four 55-ton cylindrical diving bells and their associated three- lock compression chambers (2 m. diameter x 7.95 m. long) to be manufactured by Drass of Milan,

Italy. They form part of package units, each comprising a compression chamber, lifting equip- ment, and diving bell designed for operation at water depths up to 700 feet.

Surveyors from the Milan office of Lloyd's

Register will survey these diving bells and com- pression chambers during construction at the Zin- gonia Works of Drass near Milan. The pressur- ized diving units are equipped with all necessary life support systems, communications, and a spe- cial helium gas recovery system. Integral anchor guide lines are operated by constant tension winches. Communication lines and life support gas and power leads are combined into an umbili- cal cord fed from the surface and maintained at a constant tension.

In addition to the work on diving systems, the

Ocean Engineering Department is to publish

Draft Rules and Guidance Notes for the Con- struction, Classification and Inspection of Sub- mersibles, and later this year will publish Pro- visional Requirements for the Routine In-Water

Surveying of Ships. The Society has cooperated with the Ministry of Defence (Navy Department) and several large tankers in experiments to test underwater survey techniques.
