Tours Textron Facilities

General Carl Mundy Jr., Com- mandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, recently visited Textron Marine

Systems (TMS), New Orleans, La., to tour its production facilities and to ride on a Landing Craft Air Cush- ion (LCAC).

The LCAC is the centerpiece of the Marine Corps amphibious forces and played a key role during Desert

Storm, including the off-loading of equipment for the Marine landing forces. The LCAC's built by TMS can rapidly transport troops, weap- ons and equipment from Navy am- phibious ships stationed over the horizon to 70 percent of the world's beaches.

To date, Textron has delivered 35

LCACs to the U.S. Navy and in May was awarded a $181 million con- tract for 12 additional LCACs. The company is the principle builder of the LCAC.

Textron Marine Systems, a divi- sion of Textron Inc., employs 1,100 people. The company is one of the world's leading designers and build- ers of advanced technology air cush- ion vehicles and surface effect ships for both military and commercial interests.
