New Division Formed By

Ingram Barge Company—

Ingram Terminal Operations

Peter J. Kopcsak, president of Ingram

Barge Company, recently announced the forma- tion of a new division, Ingram Terminal Opera- tions. The newly formed Ingram division will be headed up by veteran terminal operator David

S. Field, former general manager of Little Rock

Terminal Company. Mr. Field has more than 20 years' experience in marine and intermodal transportation and terminal management.

A top priority of the operation will be spear- heading the development of Ingram Terminal at the Clark Maritime Centre in Jeffersonville,

Ind., where Ingram was recently appointed the general cargo stevedore. "Clark and several oth- er terminal sites under study for development or acquisition will form the nucleus of Ingram Ter- minal Operations," Mr. Kopcsak said.

Ingram Barge, headquartered in Nashville, operates 20 boats and 500 barges on the inland waterway.

Aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt attained her full length with superlift of 700-ton bow assembly.

With the recent addition of the 418-ton island house assembly, Newport News Shipbuilding completed the final construction superlift for the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN- 71). The 1,092-foot ship is coming together in time for her scheduled launching October 27 this year at the Newport News, Va., shipyard. About 25,000 people are expected to attend the launch.

The Roosevelt attained her full length earlier this year when the yard superlifted the 700-ton bow assembly (photo) and added it to the already mammoth structure. The bow section alone is made up of 265 subassemblies, and con- tains five deck levels reaching from the hangar deck to the flight deck.

Using new carrier construction technology and superlift capacity, the Virginia shipyard intends to deliver the Roosevelt to the Navy 17 months ahead of schedule.
