Newport News Shipbuilding and

Dry Dock Company, Newport News,

Va., was awarded a $4,916,500 cost- plus-fixed-fee contract for the plan- ning, inactivation and defueling of the USS Nathan Hale (SSBN-623).

MSI Conducting Tests For

Proposed Canadian Ferry

With Voith Schneider Propulsion

MarineSafety International, New

York, N.Y. is conducting tests for

Transport Canada and the North- umberland Ferry Company for a proposed 100-meter-long ferry boat to operate between Prince Edward

Island and Nova Scotia.

The new ferry will be powered by a Voith Schneider propulsion sys- tem, the same type that is used by the Staten Island Ferry which trans- ports passengers between Manhat- tan and Staten Island. The unique

Voith Schneider propulsion system enables a vessel to turn in its own length.

Capt. John Maudlin of the Stat- en Island Ferry is helping to fine tune the response of the simulated ferry boat to its control system and to wind and current forces.

Using a visual and hydrographic simulation of the Wood Island Ter- minal, MarineSafety conducted a series of tests with the simulated ferry boat to determine its ability to enter the breakwater and to turn around and enter its berth stern first. Over thirty trial runs were made by Northumberland captains with winds varying in velocity up to 80 mph and with currents across the breakwater entrance of up to three knots.

The ship simulator located at the

LaGuardia Airport Marine Termi- nal, can replicate the handling char- acteristics of any type of vessel in
