Cammell Laird Opens

Ship Production Line

A new, large enclosed ship production facility has just been officially opened in

England by Cammell Laird, part of the state- owned British Shipbuilders group, with head- quarters on the River Mersey. Opening cere- monies were performed by Princess Anne, who by pressing a button lifted the keel sec- tion onto the slipway of the facility, which it was said could build vessels much like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube. The first ship under construction is a Royal Navy de- stroyer, but ships as big as 130,000 dwt could be manufactured in the enclosed area.

Costing £33 million ($60 million), the plant uses an extruding technique whereby ships under construction are progressively jacked down the production line onto a steeply sloping launch slipway. Prefabricated units weighing as much as 250 tons are assembled on the line and gradually moved down as further sections are added. On the slipway, the superstructure is added and the ship outfitted.

To maintain factory conditions, the gable through which the vessels are extruded can be sealed by large sliding doors 26 meters high (about 85 feet), adjustable to the width of the vessel, and guillotining-type doors ad- justable to the height of the vessel, above the slipway. Vertical access is achieved by escalators and transverse access across the vessel by moving bridges.

GULF ASSISTANCE GRANT —The Kings

Point Fund of the U.S. Merchant Marine

Academy Alumni Association has received a $2,000 Assistance Grant from the Gulf

Oil Foundation. Rear Adm. Arthur B. Engel,

USCG (ret.), right, accepts the Gulf Oil

Foundation Assistance Grant from Arthur

Ernst at the Academy in Kings Point. Fund officials said the grant would be used to sup- port midshipman programs at the Academy, such as the sailing team, the regimental band, a student loan program and athletics.

The purpose of Gulf Assistance Grants is to further projects by colleges and universi- ties. At the Academy, the programs which the Gulf grant will help underwrite receive no appropriated federal funds.
