Moss Point Marine Lays Keel

For First Of Two Navy Landing Craft

Moss Point Marine, Inc., Esca- tawpa, Miss., has laid the keel for the first of two 135-foot landing craft being built for the U.S. Navy.

The recent keel-laying ceremon- ies were highlighted by speeches from Rep. Trent Lott of Mississip- pi's Fifth Congressional District and

Capt. George Dowell, the Navy's

Supervisor of Shipbuilding in Pas- cagoula, Miss. Also attending the ceremonies was John Dane III, president of Moss Point Marine,

Inc.

The $8.6-million contract calls for completion of the first landing craft utility (LCU-1680) by the first quar- ter of 1987, with the second follow- ing two months later.

Moss Point Marine is also cur- rently building 26 lighter barges for the Navy, 13 of which have already been delivered.

Each of the all-steel, twin-screw landing craft will be capable of car- rying a cargo of three M-48 tanks and other vehicles or artillery and their associated personnel over a hinged bow ramp directly onto the beach. After a beach landing or loading, the boats will be able to retract from the beach under their own power.

Each LCU will be 134 feet 9 inches in length, with a 29-foot beam, and a molded depth (to the top of bulwark) of 12 feet 6 inches.

Displacement at full load is 404 tons. The boats' two Detroit Diesel

Allison 12V71TI diesel engines will develop a total of 850 shp and drive the vessels at 11 knots.

Accommodations for a crew of two officers and 12 enlisted men will be provided.
