BIW Awarded $247-Million

Navy Contract To Build

Three Missile Frigates

A $247-million contract for three FFG-7 class guided-missile frigates (FFG-50, 53, 55) has been awarded by the U.S. Navy to Bath Iron Works, raising the shipyard's business backlog to the highest level in its 97-year his- tory. The Navy also awarded the company a $326,573 study con- tract for its next generation de- stroyer, still in the conceptual phase under the designation

DDG-X, to recommend ways to 24 improve the producibility of the ship when it enters construction.

The Bath, Maine, shipyard, which is a Congoleum company, now has a record backlog of $909,615,000, including 14 guided- missile frigates, two commercial tankers, a dredge ship, and a sugar barge, plus overhaul proj- ects. "The fact that we achieved such a backlog when the ship- building industry in this country and abroad is severely depressed is a tribute to our excellent man- agers and workers," said John F.

Sullivan Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of the shipyard. "By consistently delivering ships ahead of schedule and below con- tract cost, they've proved them- selves as the premier shipbuild- ers of the United States," he added.

The shipyard has won interna- tional renown for early, below- budget deliveries of quality naval and merchant ships. On the guid- ed-missile frigate program alone, since delivering the prototype of the class in 1977, it has produced six more of the ships cumulative- ly 80 weeks ahead of schedule— more than V/2 years — and ap- proximately $37 million under budget.

More than 50.000 vessels have been fitted. While less visible, other

Raytheon products are even more numerous.

These include: • RAYCAS, the finest and most economical

Collision Avoidance

System yet devised. • VHF-FM and SSB

Radiotelephones. • Fathometer® Echosounders. • Doppler Speed Logs. • SATNAV and Loran-C. • Facsimile Receivers.

All sold and serviced in major ports everywhere.

DOPPLER LOGS

Doppler logs give accurate speeds and simultaneous bottom soundings.

Single or dual-axis.

There are three models of the famous

Raytheon

Doppler Log:

DSN-250 for continuous fore/ aft speeds;

DSN-350 which can be switched to show either fore/aft or port/starboard speeds: and DSN-450 which shows speeds in both axes simultaneously.

All three are proven performers with these unique features: • "Normal" mode readings up to 40 knots within 1/10 knot. • "Mooring" mode readings accurate within 1/100 knot. • True speeds shown over bottoms as deep as 1000 feet. • Selectable "water-mass" mode for relative speeds through water. • Simultaneous bottom soundings to 1000 feet with adjustable minimum depth alarm. • Automatic water temperature and salinity compensation. • Self-testing. No calibration. • Large, easy-to-read LED display with mechanical "distance-run" counter. • Optional digital and analog "dial" remote displays. • Single transducer.

Satellite Navigator gives worldwide fixes accurate within 100 yards every 30 to 90 minutes.

The "complete navigator", Raytheon

JLE-3400 acquires and displays very accurate Lat/Long fixes derived from navy navigation satellites in polar orbit.

Between satellite fixes, computer- generated dead-reckoning fixes are shown. Dead-reckoning data is keyboard entered or automatically supplied by a gyro compass and dual-axis doppler log.'

Featuring a large 9-inch CRT, the JLE-3400 will also display such important data as: • Date and GMT. • Time since last satellite fix. • Time and angle of next satellite fix. • Ship's speed and course. • Data from up to ten way-points including: course-to-steer for

Rhumb or Great Circle tracks, distance run, ETA's etc.

A printer for displayed data and a remote CRT display are available as options.
