New Literature Sheet

Describes Simpson's

Seaworthy Panel Products

New, three-hole punched, litera- ture from Simpson Timber Compa- ny of Shelton, Wash., describes their line of seaworthy marine pan- els. It contains complete specifica- tions for Marine DecraGuard, Ma- rinePly, SkidGuard and Guardian

MDO along with a color illustration of the products.

Ideal for interior bulkheads and cabinetry, Marine DecraGuard is a stain and moisture resistant panel available in wood grain or solid colorfinish. MarinePly, a tough ma- rine grade plywood is perfect for below waterline applications while

Guardian MDO with its tough paintable surface can be used for a multitude of marine applications.

SkidGuard provides a slip resistant waffle-weave surface for decks and docks.

Ready-to-use Simpson marine panels eliminate costly finishing op- erations and promise to outlast or- dinary plywood. All are backed by a commitment to quality and on- going research from the nation's leading manufacturer of industrial panels.

Continental Maritime Gets $18-Million Navy Contract

For Crane Ship Conversion

Acting on behalf of the United

States Navy, the Maritime Admin- istration recently awarded a $17,952,454 contract to Continental

Maritime of San Francisco, Inc.,

San Francisco, to convert a govern- ment-owned containership into a naval auxiliary crane ship.

The ship, the ex-President Mon- roe built in 1966, will become the

Navy's second auxiliary crane ship.

Upon completion of the conversion, expected to take 12 months, the ship will be renamed by the Navy.

She is a sister ship of the ex-Presi- dent Harrison, now the Keystone

State, which was converted into a crane ship by Bay Shipbuilding of

Sturgeon Bay, Wis., and redelivered earlier this year.

The crane ships are designed to be used at anchor in a forward deployment area or an undeveloped port to unload containers and other military cargo from containerships lacking their own cargo-handling equipment. Conversion of the ex-

President Monroe will include reac- tivating existing machinery, repair- ing broken items, and constructing and installing rotating twin-pedes- tal marine deck cranes and auxiliary equipment.

Clemco Introduces

Wetblast Injector System — Literature Available

Clemco's Wetblast Injector Sys- tem eliminates dusty blasting en- vironments without detracting from abrasive cleaning speed.

A unique water-jetting design combined with precise metering improves abrasive velocity rather than causing abrasive flow inter- ference. The result is a hard hit- ting, high velocity blast force that will clean to white metal faster than any other system on the market.

A versatile function of the sys- tem is its ability to remove aged top layers of paint while retaining solid, tightly adhered base coats.

This feature eliminates the neces- sity of applying new primer when existing primer is intact. When blasting is done, the water and air flow can be controlled to wash down surfaces and air-dry to speed up application of coatings.
