Ingalls Awarded

Navy Overhaul Contract

Worth $28.8 Million

The U.S. Navy has announced that Ingalls Shipbuilding division of

Litton has been awarded a $28,780,830 contract for the regular overhaul of the guided missile cruis- er USS Richmond K. Turner (CG- 20).

The Turner is scheduled to arrive at Ingalls Shipbuilding division,

Pascagoula, Miss., in June 1988 for a 13-month overhaul. Work includes extensive upgrades to the ship's combat weapons systems, work on propulsion systems, and drydocking maintenance. During peak work pe- riods, the overhaul will involve ap- proximately 500 employees from within Ingalls' existing work force. "The award of this contract will add significantly to our shipyard's backlog of business in the important area of surface ship overhaul and modernization," said Ingalls presi- dent, Jerry St. Pe'. "The com- bined work associated with this new overhaul contract and the work now in progress on the battleship Wis- consin and the USS Stark will con- tribute to stabilizing the work force at Ingalls."

Great works are always signed.

Responsibility. Accountability.

These are two very important, very strong words. When our founding fathers signed their names to the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, these two words weighed heavily in their hearts and minds.

At Newman's we accepted this same sense of responsibility by naming our broad product line of industrial valves NEWCO. Our products are completely traceable by our unique program of permanently identifying their source by casting code numbers into the body. As a result, our customers know the source of

NEWCO valves at the time of pur- chase or any time in the future.

The NEWCO valve program is backed by our engineering staff in

North America, Europe and the Far

East. Through this network our customers are always assured of buying the best quality, fully traceable industrial valve on the market today.

This responsibility and account- ability is Newman's constant challenge to secure the best valve,

NEWCO, for the marketplace.
