1943. During the engagement six

U.S. destroyers fought four Japa- nese destroyers, sinking three and damaging the fourth without re- ceiving any battle damage to them- selves.

Ingalls, a lead shipbuilder for five of the latest classes of Navy surface combatants, has delivered 15 Aegis cruisers to the Navy and 42 other major warships since 1975, a major portion of the U.S. surface combat- ants delivered during this period.

L'Orange Offers Line Of

Fuel Injection Systems

L'Orange GmbH, of Stuttgart,

Germany, offers the marine indus- try a line of engine fuel injection systems designed to fulfill the ex- acting requirements of high injec- tion pressures, high efficiency and easy maintenance.

As well as optimizing conven- tional injection systems such as the monoelement, the company has also developed pilot injection and dual fuel systems. L'Orange attributes its design achievements to the utili- zation of state-of-the-art technology such as simulation models, computer assisted design (CAD) and advanced measuring techniques in the equip- ment development phase.

Unique design features, high-pre- cision manufacturing and stringent quality control measures combine to create L'Orange injection sys- tems capable of continuous opera- tion under pressures of up to 1,500 bar, short injection times and opti- mum fuel atomization, even while using low quality fuels.

This provides for the exact con- trol of the combustion process and its optimization in terms of fuel con- sumption, pollutant emissions and engine mechanical and thermal stresses.

Also available from L'Orange are spare parts for the injection systems of major international engine manu- facturers as well as testing and as- sembly equipment for injection sys- tem service and repairs.

Long Receives Raytheon's

Technology Award

Peter Long, Autohelm research & design engineer, was recently awarded the 1992 Thomas L. Phillips

Excellence-in-Technology Award.

The award is presented annually by the Lexington, Mass.-based

Raytheon Company to a select group of outstanding engineers for accom- plishments important to the company's growth and continued success.

Mr. Long is credited with devel- oping a detailed and cost effective design for the revolutionary range of marine instrumentation called, "SeaTalk™." This digital serial com- munications system allows all elec- tronics within the Autohelm range to share information, therefore elimi- nating the need for duplicate sen- sors. It is at the heart of the line of

Autohelm chartplotters, autopilots, instrumentation and GPS.

In his current capacity, Mr. Long is responsible for all design study activity and engineering of new products. He has been employed by

Autohelm, a Raytheon Marine Com- pany, for the last eight years.
