Shipbuilding Corp. has launched

Camelot, a 160 ft. (49.5 m) long vessel with a 36-ft. (11-m) beam.

The new ship is the third of its class to be launched this year, and an additional three sisterships are still under construction.

These vessels have a certified passenger capacity of 600 and enclosed revenue generating spaces on three decks totaling more than 7,200 sq. ft.

Chesapeake also constructs these vessels in 180 and 200-ft. (55 and 61-m) versions.

The yard features two construc- tion basins, two level construc- tion/launch side launch systems, plus a ground transfer system and various trade shops.

Camelot is powered by twin

Detroit Diesel 12-71 Ns, coupled with Twin Disc 514 C gears, pro- viding a service speed of 13 knots.

Ship's service power is provided by a pair of 190-kW Detroit Diesel 6- 71 generators. Navigation and electronics equipment include

Furuno radar, Icom radio and

Northstar GPS. The steering sys- tem and controls are manufac- tured by Kobelt and the distribu- tion panel was manufactured by

Chesapeake.

The new vessel will be delivered in May, and a sistership is sched- uled to be launched in June for completion in August. The launch of Camelot follows the recent com- pletion of a similar 140-ft. (43-m) ship, which was delivered to its

New England-based owners last month. Chesapeake Shipbuilding builds vessels operating along the

Eastern Seaboard, the Great

Lakes, the Mississippi River, and
