Navy (continued from page 36) 65 percent of the work, especially overhaul of complex combatants, is performed in one of eight Navy- owned shipyards.

Exhibits 2 and 3 list the sched- uled overhauls of Navy and MSC ships over the next 12—24 months.

Forty-nine Navy and 28 MSC ship overhauls are scheduled. These jobs are to be awarded to commer- cial shipyards.

There are constraints on the competition: • Some have already been awarded as part of a multi- ship contract. • To maintain crew morale,

Navy's policy is to restrict competition on about one-third of overhauls to homeport shipyards. This policy doesn't affect MSC ships. But the ship relocation cost effectively limits Atlantic/Gulf shipyards to competing for Atlantic fleet

MSC ships, and West Coast yards compete for Pacific fleet ships. • NAVSEA and MSC are re- quired to reserve some over- hauls to competition among shipyards qualifying as small business firms. This particu- larly affects MSC overhauls as almost all are reserved for small businesses.

Equipment Sales

Each overhaul requires replace- ment or addition of equipment. An example of the equipment variety and planned expenditure is pro- vided in Exhibit 4. This shows equipment required for scheduled alterations planned for USS Si- mon Lake, a 20-year-old subma- rine tender.

Most long lead time equipment is directly purchased by Navy and provided to the shipyard as Gov- ernment Furnished Equipment (GFE). More common equipment (e.g., refrigerators, hydraulic bench press, etc.) are typically included in the specification as items to be purchased by the shipyard as Con- tractor Supplied Equipment (CFE).

Our survey indicated a large per- centage of mechanical, electrical and outfit equipment is purchased by the shipyard. Electronics equip- ment is purchased about evenly by

Navy and contractor. Ordnance equipment is mostly purchased by

Navy. (continued on page 40)

You deserve and can expect the best

You can expect better shipyard service from a company that has a long history of quality workmanship, with facilities that are being improved continuously.

Since 1916, Todd Shipyards Corporation has been in the shipbuilding and ship repair bus- iness and is the largest, independently-owned, ship repair company in the nation. During the last few years, many plant improvements and additions were made, to provide better service to our customers. The installation of new large capacity dry docks at several of our divisions and, the implementation of high-technology equipment at some locations, are only part of these improvements.

We recently acquired an entire shipyard in

San Francisco with a 65,000 ton dry dock. Our

Los Angeles facility will commence operation, early in 1984, of a ship lift and transfer system currently under construction.

Our shipyards, located in the ports of Seattle,

San Francisco, Los Angeles, Galveston and

New Orleans, perform all types of shiprepair services, from minor voyage repairs to major overhauls and conversions. Todd is ready around-the-clock to give its customers expert, quality workmanship with fast turnaround.
