AMERICAN PROGRESS
AT WORK.
W I *he importance of this ship goes beyond her outward
JL beauty. It's the things you don't see — her design and construction — that tell of her importance to Mobil..."
Gerhard Kurz, President of Mobil Shipping and Transportation
Company commented at the delivery ceremony.
American Progress is now earning its name for our customer,
Mobil Oil Corporation. For Newport News Shipbuilding, it's another in a long line of firsts. In fact, American Progress is the first in a series of totally new double hull product tankers built in the U.S. to meet OPA '90 standards. Mobil moves two million barrels of crude oil and refined petroleum products every day. We're proud that their future success sails, in part, on the innovations and quality only Newport News
Shipbuilding can deliver.
