CAPITAL INVESTMENT

During FY 1997, the U.S. ship construction and ship repair industry invested more than
$244 million in the upgrade and expansion of facilities (Exhibit 30). Much of this
investment was to improve efficiency and competitiveness in the commercial shipbuilding
arena. Improvements were made to update and convert shipyard facilities to be more
commercially viable. Examples of recent capital investments are new pipe and
fabrication shops, drydock extensions, military work enhancement programs, automated
steel process buildings and expanded design programs. Many of these improvements
have been necessary due to the increased utilization of U.S. shipyards, particularly those
along the Gulf Coast, resulting from the resurgence of the Oil Patch Industry.

In 1998, the industry plans to spend about $256 million in the upgrade and expansion of
facilities, according to data received by the Maritime Administration. The industry's
capital investments since 1970 have totaled approximately $6.2 billion. The actual
expenditures between 1985 and 1997, with the exception of 1990, have consistently
exceeded those planned.

12. Marinette Marine Corporation

Marinette Marine Corporation (MMC), located in Marinette, WI, on Green
Bay, which is part of Lake Michigan. is a privately-owned shipbuilding company
that was founded in 1942 Since inception, the yard has built nearly
1,300 vessels, including tugs, ferries, buoy tenders, research vessels, torpedo
weapon retrievers, mine counter-measure ships, yard patrol craft and a variety of
landing craft.

As of September 30, 1997, MMC was engaged in the construction phases
of two contracts with the U.S. Coast Guard. One contract is to design and
construct five 69 meter oceangoing buoy tenders and the other to design and
construct fourteen 53 meter coastal buoy tenders. During 1997, MMC completed
construction and delivery of one oceangoing buoy tender and three coastal buoy
tenders.

The shipyard covers 23 hectares and has approximately 150,000 square
meters of enclosed workspace permitting year-round, uninterrupted construction of
vessels. A modern design and administrative building, large fabrication shops and
erection areas, a 200 metric ton ship lift, three launchways, and numerous
berthing spaces along the 651 meter dockwall provide what is needed to satisfy
multiple ship construction projects in assembly line fashion.

Strategically positioned fabricating, assembly and trade shops allow smooth
and efficient movement of material, prefabricated components, and small modules
through the ship construction process. Most shops are equipped with overhead
bridge cranes. Crawler cranes service the outdoor erection areas. Large modules
and completed vessels are transferred to erection and launching sites using a dual
walking beam ship transfer system that is capable of carrying up to 1,626 metric
tons.

Construction of the oceangoing buoy tenders began in late 1993.
Construction of the coastal buoy tender commenced in mid-1994.

MNC anticipates an additional eleven seagoing coastal buoy tenders will be
contracted for in 1998.

Total employment at the yard in mid-1997 was 546.

MAJOR SHIPBUILDING BASE

The Major Shipbuilding Base (MSB), as identified by the Navy and MARAD,
is comprised of 18 privately owned U.S. shipyards that are open, having at least
one shipbuilding position capable of accommodating a vessel 122 meters in length
or over. In addition, these shipyards must own or have in place a long-term lease
(1 year or more) on the facility in which they intend to accomplish the shipbuilding
work, there must be no dimensional obstructions in the waterway leading to open
water (i.e., locks, bridges), and the water depth in the channel to the facility must
be a minimum of 3.7 meters.

As of October 1997, the MSB shipyards employed roughly 65 percent of the
U.S. shipbuilding and repair industry's total workforce, as reported by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics under SIC 3731. At the same time 43 percent of the
Production workers in these 18 shipyards were engaged in Navy or Coast Guard
ship construction and repair work.

As of year's end, 6 of the 18 shipyards were engaged in construction
and/or conversion of major combatant and auxiliary ships for the Navy. Three of
the yards were engaged primarily in ship construction work provided by the
Navy's T-Ship program. Thirteen yards had repair and overhau! work, smaller
Navy vessel orders, and non-ship construction work: ten yards were involved with
private new construction; and one yard was constructing vessels for the
Coast Guard.

Employment projections for production workers are shown by Exhibit 22 of
this report. This data was generated by overlaying the Navy’s projected six-year
shipbuilding and conversion programs onto the estimated work force required to
complete the current orderbook.

The following is a brief description of 18 of the major U.S. privately-owned
shipbuilding facilities. Exhibits 1 through 18 are general arrangement drawings of
each yard's facilities. Exhibit 19 illustrates the geographical location of these
shipyards.

About 107 meters of the erection building straddles one of the graving docks,
allowing pre-assembled units weighing in excess of 908 metric tons to be erected
in a covered environment. Other major facilities include a concrete pier, two wet
berths, a fully equipped warehouse, and machine and fabrication ships.

Tampa Bay Shipbuilding & Repair Company maintains a skilled workforce in
all facets of ship repair including design, steel fabrication, pipe fabrication,
electrical, piping, machinery, blasting and Coating. Its workforce and a network of
‘experienced local subcontractors combine to create the ideal environment for ship
repairs, conversion, and new construction projects. A full range of utilities and
services necessary for efficient production are provided, including electrical power,
compressed air, portable water, fire protection, sanitary sewer, storm drains,
steam, oxygen and burning gases, and paved roads.

Tampa Bay Shipbuilding & Repair Company completed nearly 50 repair jobs
in 1997. Included in their customer base are Apex Marine's GULF TRADER and
GULF BANKER, and Coscol Marine’s COASTAL CORPUS CHRISTI and
COASTAL NEW YORK. Other jobs include emergency collision repairs to the
MARINA, a 244 meter by 42 meter by 19 meter deep vessel. Tampa Bay
Shipbuilding & Repair Company was able to drydock the TORM AGNETE, with it’s
Cargo still onboard, and complete repairs in only four days.

The facility is served by the CSX Railway System and is just minutes from
Tampa International Airport, Interstate Highways 4, 75, 275. and the Lee Roy
Selmon Expressway.

As of mid-1997, Tampa Bay Shipbuilding & Repair Company employed a

11. Intermarine USA

Intermarine USA was established in 1987 following a U.S. Navy contract to
build large minehunters using composite materials. Intermarine completely
renovated a shipyard in Savannah, GA, and converted it into a modern composite
manufacturing facility.

Intermarine USA started construction of OSPREY, lead ship of the MHC-51
Coastal Minehunter class, in May 1988, only one year after the original contract
award. The class is 57 meters in length with a full load displacement of
900 metric tons. OSPREY was launched in March 1991 and delivered in
August 1993. Seven additional MHC-51 class vessels have been awarded to
Intermarine since 1987. These awards ensure continuous ship production through
1998. Through 1997, five coastal mine hunters have been delivered.

The company continues to contribute to U.S. Navy advanced composite
materials studies in support of marine structural designs up to 73 meters in length.
Intermarine also constructed a 20 meter catamaran yacht tender for service in the
America's Cup competition. In addition, Intermarine has continuous ongoing naval
and commercial ship repair work and is entering the super yacht market.

Intermarine USA has all. the facilities necessary for military and commercial
ship construction, including a certified 162 meter long graving dock and a
1,016 metric ton marine railway. The composite materials fabrication building has
an area of over 14,860 square meters and is equipped with six semi-automatic
resin/glass impregnators on fully-articulated bridge cranes. Materials storage areas
and environmental controls have been specifically designed to meet all composite
materials storage and manufacturing requirements. The facility is large enough to
house six minehunter vessels or molds, all under cover, simultaneously. There are
4,180 square meters of shop space, in addition to the composite materials
fabrication areas, and ample warehouse space on-site.

In support of the ongoing construction programs, Intermarine has
established technical and integrated logistics support departments staffed with
experienced engineers, designers and logisticians.

As of mid-1997, Intermarine USA employment totaled 429.

COMMERCIAL SHIP CONSTRUCTION

The U.S. orderbook for commercial shipbuilding, at the end of 1997, consisted
of eight 30,415 gross ton (GT) tankers at Newport News Shipbuilding,

two 11,000 GT chemical tankers at Alabama Shipyard and two 82,542 GT crude
carriers at Avondale Industries.

The tankers at Newport News are being constructed for two different companies.
Three tankers, being constructed for the export market, will be owned by Fleves
Shipping Corporation of Greece, and five tankers, for the domestic U.S. trade, are
under construction, for Hvide Van Ommeron of Miami, FL. Delivery of the tankers
is scheduled for 1998 - 2000. The tankers ordered by Fleves Shipping
Corporation were the first commercial vessels ordered by a foreign owner

since 1957. Alabama Shipyard is constructing two chemical tankers, for export,
for Danneborg Rederi AS of Denmark, which are scheduled for delivery in 1998.
All of these tanker orders were made feasible with the assistance of the Maritime
Administration's Title XI Federal Ship Financing Program. The crude carriers under
Construction at Avondale Industries for ARCO Marine, Inc., a subsidiary of Atlantic
Richfield Company, are being financed with principal payment withdrawals, from
its Capital Construction Fund, which is managed by the Maritime Administration.

In addition, there is one 12,904 GT oceangoing ferry on order at Halter Moss Point
Shipyard and two 4,350 GT non-oceangoing passenger/car ferries under
Construction at Todd Pacific's Seattle shipyard. The end year orderbook since
1975 is illustrated in Exhibit 23.

9. Halter Moss Point Shipyard

The Halter Moss Point (HMP) facility is located on the Escatawpa River in
Moss Point, MS, a short distance from the Gulf of Mexico and Interstate 10.
Significant features of the HMP yard include: a protected, deep-water location;
large module fabrication and assembly platens; two launchways; significant lift
capacity; full range of outfitting services; and full-service warehousing facilities.
The original 30 acres of developed land was substantially increased in 1995 by the
acquisition of approximately 10 acres of adjacent property, which included existing
marine fabrication shops, platens and offices, and a 60 meter launchway.

HMP is currently constructing the T-AGS 63 and T-AGS 64 Oceanographic
Survey ships and a 116 meter RO/RO passenger ferry for the Alaskan Marine
Highway System, a 69 meter Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessel and four
63 meter Offshore Supply (OSV) boats. HMP recently has delivered an AGOR,
Oceanographic Research Ship to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA).

The Halter Moss Point facility is equipped and staffed to handle fabrication,
assembly and delivery of complex ships up to 146 meters in length by 20 meter
beam. The shipyard maintains moveable heavy-lift crane capacity of up to 272
metric tons.

The four-story main fabrication shop contains 929 square meters and is
fitted with a five-metric ton overhead crane serving its entire length plus an
extension at each end, and a nine-metric ton gantry crane. The pipe shop covers
855 square meters. The building is serviced by four one-ton jibs and a five-metric
ton overhead crane and contains a standard outfit of pipe fabrication tools and
equipment, including six pipefitter work stations. The combined carpenter shop
and electric shop contains 465 square meters. The carpenter shop and electric
shop carry a full range of standard tools and equipment necessary to support the
production effort. The main warehouse contains 1,858 square meters of modern
receiving and weatherproof storage space. Environmentally controlled warehouse
space for the stowage and test of sensitive equipment is available.

The HMP yard has a steel fabrication throughput capacity of 400 tons per
month and a pipe shop capacity to provide up to 22,859 meters of pipe per year.
These capacities will increase as activation of the newly acquired adjacent facility
takes place. .HMP recently acquired a 217 hectare facility a short distance from
HMP which features 335 meters of protected bulkhead mooring, along with the
standard marine fabrication shops, equipment and offices that will be available to
provide production support as well as a final new construction outfitting site.

As of mid-1997, employment at Halter Moss Point was 452.

7. Fraser Shipyards, Inc.

Fraser Shipyards, the only major American shipyard and drydock operation
on the western end of the Great Lakes, is located on Howards Bay in Superior, WI.
From 1900 to 1926, Superior Shipbuilding Co. operated the yard and built more
than 50 large Great Lakes ore carriers. The yard became a repair facility for the
American Ship Building Co. from 1926 to 1945 and then became known as
Knudsen Brothers Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. Fraser-Nelson Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Co. took over the yard in 1955, and the present name was adopted in
1964. In August 1977, the yard was sold to Reuben Johnson & Son, Inc., a
Superior, WI, contracting and construction firm, but business continues under the
Fraser name.

Since World War Il, Fraser Shipyards, a complete shipbuilding and ship
repair facility, has specialized in vessel repair and ship modernization. In the past
25 years, Fraser has performed most of the major ship lengthening work on the
Great Lakes. In recent years, however, general ship repair has been its primary
source of revenue.

In the early 1980's, Fraser instituted a major renovation of its fabrication
capabilities, including a 40 percent increase in its platen table capacity
and extension of its railroad trackage to increase steel unloading capabilities by
300 percent. An all-new steel cutting process with hydraulic loading and
unloading tables was installed, as well as major repowering of the shipyard to
Support the expanding facilities and to improve existing capacity. New automated
welding equipment and related modern techniques were also introduced to
increase productivity. In 1990 Fraser installed a new metal-forming brake as well
as a new shear.

Fraser maintains two graving docks suitable for ship construction, repair,
and conversion work. One basin can accommodate a vessel 252 meters by
23 meters, and the other a vessel 189 meters by 17 meters. A small graving-type
dock was added in 1973 to build new midbody sections for the lengthening of
bulk-ore freighters under contract at that time. Fraser's 10 mobile cranes, ranging
from 14 to 136 metric tons can service all building docks, as well as outfitting and
repair-berths, and also can be floated on a crane lighter for work afloat. The
company also operates an "outside" repair fleet totaling 12 units — tugs, work —
launches, and barges.-- capable of performing repairs on vessels while they are
‘loading or unloading cargoes. in Duluth-Superior harbor and adjacent ports.

Current work includes converting a small fishing vessel to a research vessel.

In mid-1997, Fraser’s employment was about 32 people.

13. Metro Machine of Pennsylvania, Inc., Industrial Products Division

Metro Machine of Pennsylvania, Inc. took over the facility formerly operated
by Erie Marine Enterprises, Inc. The 18 hectare shipyard was renamed Metro
Machine of Pennsylvania, Inc., Industrial Products Division. The shipyard is
located on the protected waters of the Presque Isle Bay in Erie, PA. This Great
Lakes shipyard has a history of new construction, repair and industrial work. The
yard built the first Great Lakes 305 meter self-unloading ore carrier and a second
305 meter self-unloading ore carrier.

The facility consists of three interconnected buildings containing over
18,581 square meters of production space, enabling raw material coming into the
facility to be totally processed in an environmentally controlled production setting.
This shipyard has the longest U.S. drydock on the Great Lakes and can
accommodate ships up to 375 meters in length with a maximum beam of
35 meters. The drydock extends into a 6,600 square meter assembly building,
both of which are served by 91-metric ton and 18-metric ton cranes. The complex
contains machine, electrical and outfitting shops with warehouse and office
spaces.

Three overhead cranes service the 5,700 square meter fabrication shop.
There are 1,129 meters of.pier space at the shipyard with full dockside services.
Auxiliary pier spaces are available for four additional ships. The shipyard has
mobile cranes with capacities up to 113 metric tons. Also, there is a 270-metric
ton stationary revolving crane.

In recent years, about $3.0 million was invested in rehabilitating and
upgrading the facility and equipment.

The shipyard has access to and, as needed, uses several industrial
companies and subcontractors located in the Erie industrial community.

As of mid-1997, the yard employed a total of 27 people.

PROJECTED NAVY SHIPBUILDING PLAN

The U.S. Navy shipbuilding plan for fiscal years 1998 - 2003 includes the construction of
35 new ships, 7 ship conversions, 4 Service Life Extensions (SLEP) and 2 carrier
refuelings (Exhibit 29). More than $45 billion is proposed for this plan. Shipyard
contract value accounts for about a third of this amount, while the remainder is
attributed to Government-furnished equipment placed aboard the vessels and to other
Government program costs.

The Navy’s proposed FY 1998 - 2003 shipbuilding program represents a continued
reduction in the amount of new shipbuilding work available to the nation's industrial base
when compared with previous Navy programs. This program, with an average of less
than six new ships per year, represents a 69.3 percent reduction in the quantity of ships
to be procured compared with the 19 ships per year average for Navy programs during
the 1980s.

The Navy's plan includes the construction of 17 guided missile destroyers (DDG-51),
4 attack submarines (NSSN) and 9 amphibious transport ships (LPD). These three
shipbuilding programs will probably utilize more than 84 percent of the available new
construction funding.

10. Ingalls Shipbuilding, Inc.

Ingalls Shipbuilding, Inc., a division of Litton Industries, Inc., is located on
the Gulf of Mexico in Pascagoula, MS. Ingalls is a diversified shipbuilding facility
experienced in the design, engineering, construction, modernization, conversion,
overhaul and fleet support of Navy warships and auxiliaries, as well as commercial
ships and mobile offshore drilling rigs. Since 1975, Ingalls has delivered to the
U.S. Navy 74 major surface combatant ships. Ingalls has also delivered three
SAAR 5 corvettes to the Government of Israel.

As of September 30, 1997, the company held orders for two multi-purpose
amphibious assault ships (LHDs) for the Navy, as well as seven new DDG-5 AEGIS
class guided missile destroyers. The orderbook also included commercial contracts
for 20 offshore supply vessels.

Ingalls’ 243 hectare West Bank facility, completed in 1970, is geared to
assembly-line construction, in lieu of conventional inclined shipbuilding ways.
Fabricated steel and subassemblies are brought from the various shops to the
subassembly area where they are erected and pre-outfitted, then moved to the
module assembly area. These areas are divided into five major bays or processing
lines, each of which can produce 5,447 metric ton modules. After assembly and
outfitting, the modules are moved to an integration area where they are erected
into a complete ship. The ship is then moved to a floating drydock (resting on a
submerged grid) which is subsequently floated and moved to a deep-water area
where it is ballasted and the ship launched. The drydock can launch or recover a
maximum ship size of 259 meters by 53 meters. Approximately 1,432 meters of
berthing space, serviced by cranes up to 272 metric tons, are available for
outfitting. In August 1988, about 16,721 square meters of the shipyard's slab
area was brought under roof to increase the amount of early outfitting performed.
Improved pipe production facilities, a machinery packaging facility, and a new
blast and paint station in the steel fabrication complex have been added. _ Ingalls’
current facility and technology improvements include a new robotics welding
capability and a composite facility. In August 1997, Ingalls announced plans to
invest $25 million in a major facilities program to enhance capacity for both
military and commercial work.

Ingalls’ older East Bank facility has been in operation since 1938. Although
there are six inclined shipways and a graving dock at East Bank, they were all
taken out of service in 1989, along with three piers. Refurbishment of these
facilities is anticipated to take at least two years. One pier remains providing
457 meters of berthing space serviced by cranes with up to 54 metric tons of
capacity for outfitting and topside repair.

As of mid-1997, Ingalls employed a total labor force of about 9,420.

Introduction

In compliance with the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended , the
Maritime Administration (MARAD) conducts an annual survey to obtain information
from the shipbuilding and ship repair industry to be used primarily to determine if
an adequate mobilization base exists for national defense and for use in a national
emergency. This report on the 1997 survey of U.S. shipyard facilities was
prepared by the Division of Cost Analysis and Production, Office of Ship
Construction, and is for general use within the Maritime Administration and other
Government agencies.

—_—_———

Y Section 210

"It shall be the duty of the Secretary of Transportation to make a survey of
the American merchant marine, as it now exists, to determine what additions and
replacements are required to carry forward the national policy declared in
Section 101 of this Act, and the Secretary of Transportation is directed to study,
perfect, and adopt a long-range program for replacements and additions to the
American merchant marine so that as soon as practicable the following objectives
may be accomplished: ...Fourth, the creation and maintenance of efficient
shipbuilding and repair capacity in the United States with adequate numbers of
skilled personnel to provide an adequate mobilization base.”

Section 211

"The Secretary of Transportation is authorized and directed to investigate,
determine, and keep current records of ... (g) The number, location, and efficiency
of the shipyards existing on the date of enactment of this Act or thereafter built in
the United States;"

Section 502(f)

"The Secretary of Transportation with the advice of and in coordination with
the Secretary of the Navy, shall, at least once each year, as required for purposes
of this Act, survey the existing privately owned shipyards capable of merchant
ship construction, or review available data on such shipyards if deemed adequate,
to determine whether their capabilities for merchant ship construction, including
facilities and skilled personnel, provide an adequate mobilization base at strategic
points for purposes of national defense and national emergency.”

TOTAL EMPLOYMENT IN PRIVATE SHIPYARDS

According to employment data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S.
Department of Labor, under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 3731
(Shipbuilding and Repairing), the average total employment in U.S. private shipyards for
the first eleven months of 1997 was 94,000 (Exhibit 31). This total reflects a decline of
7.0 percent, from the reported average total employment for the shipbuilding and
repairing industry, for the first eleven months of 1996, this is the largest decrease since
1993.

According to the data published by the BLS, total average employment in the
shipbuilding and repair industry increased slightly between 1989 and 1991, but is
Currently projected to be lower than any level in the past 47 years. Despite the fact that
the employment level increased during 1989 and 1991, it has steadily decreased since
1991 and it has remained considerably lower than that reported in 1982 when

171,600 people were employed in the industry.

5. Bath iron Works Corporation

Bath Iron Works Corporation (BIW) is located on the Kennebec River in
Bath, ME. The original iron foundry was established in 1826; it became Bath Iron
Works Ltd in 1884, and the first ship was delivered in 1890. Since then, this
shipyard has built over 240 U.S. Navy surface combatants and more than
160 commercial ships, including product tankers, containerships, roll-on/roll-off
ships, private yachts and fishing vessels. BIW became a wholly owned subsidiary
of General Dynamics Corporation in September 1995.

Since 1968, BIW has delivered 22 commercial ships and 40 U.S. Navy
warships. In 1973, BIW became the lead yard for the FFG-7 PERRY class frigate
and has delivered 24 of these ships. In 1982, the Navy selected BIW as the
second-source shipbuilder for the AEGIS cruiser program. The company built eight
CG-47 TICONDEROGA class cruisers and delivered the last one in 1993. In 1985,
BIW won the competition for the design and construction of the DDG-51 ARLEIGH
BURKE class AEGIS destroyers, the U.S. Navy's newest surface combatant. The
lead ship and 11 follow-on ships have been delivered since 1991. As of
September 30, 1997, nine DDG's were under contract with the last delivery
scheduled for 2002. In 1996, BIW was part of the team that was awarded the
design and construction contract for the first three amphibious transport dock
ships (LPD). BIW is slated to construct the third ship of the series.

The facilities for new construction programs at the main shipyard feature
three shipways; two can accommodate ships of 220 meters in length, one with a
maximum beam of 34 meters and the other a maximum beam of 39 meters.
These ways are serviced by a 200-metric ton level-luffing crane capable of
erecting maximum weight units on both shipways. The third shipway, which can
handle a 210 meter ship with a beam of 26 meters, is serviced by a 270-metric
ton crane. Two principal structural assembly buildings have 28 work stations; the
larger building, which also houses the panel line, is 390 by 40 meters and the
smaller one is 135 by 28 meters. The 130 by 65 meter pre-outfit building has -
18 work stations and is used for equipment installation after units are blasted and
painted. Three piers have an overall waterfront length of 680 meters.

BIW also operates three other industrial facilities. Two are located
5 kilometers away in East Brunswick, ME. The Hardings Fabrication Plant,
covering 15 hectares with 18,000 square meters of covered area, houses
structural fabrication and sub-assembly operations. The adjacent East Brunswick
facility has a total area of 24 hectares and includes two main buildings. One is a
113,000 cubic meter, climate-controlled, high-bay pallet-stacking warehouse.
The other is a combination pipe and sheet metal fabrication center, with over
11,000 square meters of covered work space. The BIW operated Portland, ME
overhaul and repair facility is 50 kilometers from Bath and has a 61,000-metric ton
floating dry dock which can accommodate a vessel up to 257 meters by
41 meters.

As of mid-1997, the company had about 7,236 employees.

COMMERCIAL SHIP DELIVERIES - 1997

During 1997, U.S. shipyards delivered four commercial oceangoing ships (Exhibit 26).
Avondale Industries of New Orleans, LA, delivered one 27,854 GT and two 24,474 GT
reconstructed double hulled product tankers, to American Heavy Lift. The reconstruction
involved the cutting of the tanker in two, removing the existing forebody of the vessel,
construction and attachment of a new 155 meter double hulled forebody.

Newport News delivered the first of nine double hulled product tankers. The 30,340 GT
tanker, AMERICAN PROGRESS, originally ordered on October 31, 1994, by Fleves
Shipping Corporation, was sold in January 1997 to Mobil Oil.

In addition, Todd Pacific Shipyard, Corp., Seattle WA, delivered one 4,350 GT
non-oceangoing passenger/vehicle ferry.

6. Electric Boat Corporation

Electric Boat Corporation (EB) is located on the Thames River in Groton, CT.
Electric Boat is the primary design, construction, and life cycle support shipyard
for U.S. Navy nuclear-powered submarines. A part of General Dynamics
Corporation since 1952, the company was founded in 1899 to sell the Navy its
first submarine, the HOLLAND. Since then, Electric Boat has delivered over half of
all U.S. Navy submarines including: 85 Fleet-type boats during World War Il; the
USS NAUTILUS - the first nuclear submarine - in 1954; and the USS GEORGE
WASHINGTON - the first ballistic missile submarine - in 1959.

As of September 30, 1997, Electric Boat had under construction the second
and third SSN-21 SEAWOLF class attack submarines. Electric Boat is the lead
design yard for the New Attack Submarine (NSSN) which is scheduled to begin
construction at EB during FY 1998. The company is also engaged in the repair of
nuclear submarines both in Groton and at other Naval homeports.

Electric Boat operates three major construction and manufacturing sites -
the 292 hectare shipyard facility on the Thames River in Groton, CT, a
245 hectare modular construction facility in Quonset Point, RI, fronting on
Narragansett Bay, and the 67 hectare Electro-Dynamic facility in Avenel, NJ,
specializing in quiet motors, fans, and generators. Completely outfitted submarine
sections weighing up to 1,540 metric tons are shipped from Quonset Point to
Groton via a heavy lift system consisting of multi-wheeled transporters and a
unique jack-up barge. Electric Boat also has major engineering support offices in
Bangor, WA, Kings Bay, GA, and Washington, DC, and prototype reactor service
activities in West Milton, NY and Windsor, CT.

The Quonset Point facilities include an Automated Frame and Cylinder
Facility, where 24 automated fixtures are used to produce thick-walled submarine
sections to demanding dimensional tolerances, and extensive steel fabrication,
machine, pipe, electrical, and HVAC shops which support the modular outfitting of
these sections.

The Groton facilities include the principal research, engineering, and design
activities, as well as shipyard operations centered around the land level submarine
construction facility (LLSCF), which is capable of producing up to three
submarines per year, and is served by heavy-lift cranes capable of combined lifts
up to 616 metric tons. There are three graving docks: GD1 and GD2 are used
primarily for submarine repair and postsea trial dockings; and, GD3 is used to
launch ships, up to 197 meters in length and 19,250 metric tons, from the LLSCF.
Seven wetberth positions with portal cranes ranging from 75 to-300 tons can
accommodate vessels up to 229 meters long and drawing 12 meters.

During 1997, as part of ongoing consolidation efforts, the Groton facility
demolished 6 major and 41 minor obsolete structures.

As of mid-1997 Electric Boat had approximately 10,300 employees.

NAVY'S T-SHIP PROGRAM

The Navy's T-ship program continued to be a very important segment of ship
construction and conversion activity for U.S. shipyards. T-ships are auxiliary vessels
funded by the Navy budget but designed to be civilian-manned and under the control! of
the Military Sealift Command. Since mid-1979, 16 U.S. private shipyards have been
awarded contracts for the construction of 70 new ships and the conversion of

36 existing vessels. The initial contract value for these vessels totaled approximately
$9.9 billion.

During 1997, new construction orders for four new T-ships were placed with U.S.
shipyards. Avondale Industries, New Orleans, LA, received an order with an initial
contract value of $210 million to build one military sealift ship (T-AKR) and National Steel
Shipbuilding Co., San Diego, CA received two orders with a total initial contract value of
$422 million to build two military sealift ships (T-AKR’s). Halter Moss Point Shipyard,
Moss Point, MS, also received an order to construct an ocean survey ship (T-AGS),
valued at $51.7 million. There were no T-ship deliveries during 1997.

As of December 31, 1997, 16 T-ships were under construction or on order at three
shipyards (Exhibit 28). The value of this orderbook is approximately $3.0 billion.

18. Todd Pacific Shipyards Corporation

Todd Pacific Shipyards Corporation is located at the Northwest corner of
Harbor Island in Elliot Bay, less than 10 minutes from downtown Seattle, WA.
The shipyard has been located there since 1916. Todd Pacific has repaired or
converted thousands of vessels during this period, while constructing almost
300 new vessels.

As of September 30, 1997, work in the yard included the construction of
the last two ships in a three ship contract, for 150 meter car ferries, for the
Washington State Ferry System. This contract was signed in January 1995, with
deliveries scheduled between 1997-1999. The first ship was delivered in August
1997. Todd Pacific has used this opportunity to transfer modern shipbuilding
methods from Ishikawajima-Harimi Heavy Industries Co., Ltd (IHI) of Japan. In
addition, Todd Pacific is Currently occupied with the repair and overhaul of
numerous factory trawlers, containerships, barges, tugs, and ferries, as well as
drydocking at least 100 vessels a year and long-term phased maintenance work on
Navy AOEs.

Todd Pacific has a dual shipway for simultaneous construction of two ships
with a maximum length of 168 meters by 18 meter beam. Combining the two
shipways, a ship up to 168 meters by 29 meters can be built. Todd Pacific
operates three floating drydocks, rated at 41,290, 17,780 and 5,791 metric tons
respectively. The largest of the drydocks can accommodate ships up to 287
meters by 41 meters. A fourth floating dock rated at 8,500 metric tons was
acquired during the summer of 1997, but is not yet operational.

Two wharves and five piers provide a total of 1,834 meters of berthing
space for outfitting and repair. The yard is serviced by 15 whirled traveling cranes
with lifting capacities ranging from 23 metric tons to 136 metric tons.

During a two-year period starting in August 1993, the company undertook a
major site reorganization and extensive capital improvements focused at improving
overall efficiency in new construction and repair. The stores/warehouse function
was consolidated into a more central location. Additional facility changes have
been made to allow Todd Pacific to adopt a Japanese-style group technology
Construction process. A Company wide LAN computer system has been installed
which is inclusive of AutoCad work stations in both design and lofting. All pipe
shop activities have been consolidated in a larger space and restructured to
accommodate pipe piece family manufacturing and the palletization of finished pipe
pieces. The west steel shop has been outfitted with additional Cranes and pin jigs
and is now a block assembly shop. A new plasma arc burning machine has been
installed. The former east steel shop has been reconfigured as a sub assembly
shop. A second enclosed paint facility was added, for pre-outfitted blocks and
units, without impacting on Capacity for ship repair. The former ordnance building
has been converted to a module assembly shop for engine room modules. The
area containing the former sheet metal loft has been razed, piped for services and
black-topped to provide a block outfitting area.

In mid-1997, total employment at Todd Pacific was 1 ,050.

GENERAL

A major shipbuilding and repair facility is defined in this report as one that is
open and has the capability to construct, drydock, and/or topside repair vessels
with a minimum length overall of 122 meters, provided that water depth in the
channel to the facility is at least 3.7 meters. Appendix B is a statistical abstract of
data gathered from 87 companies responding to MARAD's annual survey which
meet these criteria. It lists the facilities sorted on a coastal basis and displays
information with respect to the size and type of each building position, drydock,
berth space, employment, and remarks regarding principal shipyard activities.

Table 1 has been prepared to answer the frequent question as to the
number of shipbuilding positions available to build a complete specified ship. With
the exception of the mobilization ship, the ship types listed in Table 1 are those
historically delivered to commercial service. Length overall and beam are given for
all ships and, in addition, deadweight tonnage is indicated for the bulk carriers.

A single shipway or graving dock may have several building positions depending
on the size of the ships being constructed. For example, the 365 meter by

59 meter graving dock at Baltimore Marine Industries, Inc. can accommodate one
265,000-dwt tanker or four of the smaller general cargo ships. The total number
of building positions varies from 82 for the small cargo ship to 4 for a huge
265,000-dwt tanker. An important consideration that is not addressed in Table 1
is the common shipbuilding practice of laying a keel on a building position already
occupied by another ship. For example, in a 213-meter graving dock, a complete
186-meter containership and the stern section of a second ship could be
constructed simultaneously. This production procedure maximizes the use of
shipbuilding facilities, minimizes the construction period, and increases the number
of ships that can be produced in a given period of time. Table 1 addresses only
the number of complete. ships that can be constructed simultaneously in each
building position.

Table 2 is a somewhat different presentation of shipyard capability. In lieu
of actual ships, maximum ship length is used to determine the number of shipways
or graving docks available. In this tabulation, the emphasis is on the number of
individual facilities available and not on the number of ships that can be
constructed. Again, using Baltimore Marine Industries, Inc. as an example,

Table 2 lists the 365 meter by 59 meter graving dock as one facility regardless of
what type of ship is constructed in it. Table 1 indicates that there are six building
positions for a ship 145 meter LOA at Baltimore Marine industries, whereas

Table 2 indicates that the yard has three individual building positions capable of
constructing a ship about that length. Exhibit 20 is a histogram displaying the
reduction in the number of available building positions as the maximum ship length
increases.



SHIP REPAIR INDUSTRY

While over 200 privately owned firms of varying capabilities are involved in
repairing ships in the United States, only 44 yards are capable of drydocking
vessels 122 meters in length and over. For ships this size, the U.S. shipbuilding
and repair industry is currently operating a total of 48 floating drydocks,

31 graving docks, and 2 marine railways. However, some of these graving docks
are committed to new construction. The large organizations which have drydocks
generally have extensive waterfront acreage and are capable of all types of ship
repair and maintenance. Major shipyards usually combine repair, overhaul, and
conversion with shipbuilding capabilities, and employment normally numbers in the
thousands. It is difficult to draw a sharp line between shipbuilding yards and ship
tepair yards, as many of the yards engage in both types of work.

Repair (with Drydocking) Faciliti

Major drydocking facilities are defined as those yards having at least one
drydocking facility that can accommodate vessels 122 meters in length and over,
provided that water depth, in the channel, to the shipyard itself is at least
3.7 meters. These facilities may also be capable of constructing a vessel less than
122 meters in length overall. Exhibit 21 is a histogram displaying the reduction in
the number of available floating drydocks as the maximum ship length increases.

Appendix B tabulates information updated for 1997 on 32 of these repair
yards by geographical location. Additional information is available in the Office of
Ship Construction.

Major Topside Repair Faciliti

Major topside repair facilities are those that have sufficient berth/pier space
for topside repair of ships 122 meters in length and over, provided that water
depth in the channel to the facility itself is at least 3.7 meters. These facilities
may also have drydocks and/or construction capability for vessels less than
122 meters in:length. Services rendered by these firms vary from a simple repair
job to a major topside overhaul, particularly when the work on oceangoing ships
can be accomplished without taking the ships out of the water. It is common
practice for a shipyard to send its personnel and equipment to provide voyage
repairs while the ship is at anchor or working cargo at a commercial marine
terminal. There is an increasing trend worldwide to send ship repairers to the ship
rather than to bring the ship to the shipyard, thus calling for greater mobility of
ship repair personnel. y

Appendix B also tabulates information for 1997 on the 37 topside repair
yards’ facilities (berth/pier space). The yards’ building ways, drydocks, marine
railways, etc., are not addressed herein as they cannot accommodate vessels
122 meters in length and over. However, detailed data for these facilities were
obtained during MARAD’s annual shipyard survey and are available in the Office of

Ship Construction.

42


The statistical data accumulated by the survey are a major input into the
Shipyard Evaluation Analysis System Model (SEAS), a quantitative assessment of
the Nation's ship construction and ship repair capability. This capability is
periodically compared with Department of Defense scenarios involving various
contingency attrition rates and emergency civilian shipping requitements to assess
the adequacy of the shipbuilding mobilization base, including ship repair and
reactivation of the Maritime Administration reserve fleet and the U.S. Navy reserve
fleet.

The survey also provides a database that is used to evaluate the feasibility
of proposed shipbuilding programs. Determinations are made as to which existing
shipyards might construct proposed ships consistent with ship size and delivery
date requirements. The need for construction of new facilities to meet the
demands of proposed shipbuilding programs can be also identified. The data
gathered by the annual survey also are used extensively in MARAD responses to
queries received from a variety of interests, including members of Congress, the
Secretary of Transportation, the Department of Defense, the Office of
Management and Budget, and other Government agencies.

Each year in late spring, Standard Form 17, "Facilities Available for the
Construction or Repair of Ships," is mailed to about 300 U.S. shipbuilding and
ship repair facilities. The survey form was developed jointly by MARAD and the
Navy. A completed Standard Form 17 represents a detailed description of a
shipbuilding or ship repair facility, which is not available from any other source on
a continuing and structured basis. The information requested, and available for
official use, can be reviewed on a blank Standard Form 17 shown herein. as
Appendix A. A graving dock characteristics summary and floating drydock
characteristics summary are appended to Standard Form 17 to better identify the
characteristics of the facilities.

Upon receipt of a completed Standard Form 17 from a shipyard, MARAD
forwards a copy to the Naval Sea Systems Command, Industrial Planning, Surveys
and Analysis Branch, which maintains records of available facilities and Capacities
of various shipyards and repair plants. This would enable the Department of
Transportation and the Department of Defense to use such facilities to the best
advantage in the event of national emergency. :

The annual shipyard survey for 1997 has been completed. The information
collected has been organized and condensed in the following narratives, exhibits,
and tabulations to focus attention on those elements that are most often requested
from this office.


16, Portland Ship Yard (Cascade General)

This 57-hectare shipbuilding and ship repair facility is located in
Portland, OR, on the Willamette River. The yard was developed from the World
War Il Swan Island Shipbuilding facilities which delivered 1,076 oceangoing ships.
Today's facility includes Dry Dock 4, the largest floating drydock in the Americas.

Projects in 1997 included the conversion of the GLOMAL EXPLORER, a
188.7-meter vessel, into a deepwater oil drilling ship. This was one of the most
complex projects ever undertaken in the history of the company, involving
fabrication of more than 4.5 million pounds of steel and reactivation of virtually
every system on the vessel. The conversion, which included a doubling of
specified workscope, was completed 15 days ahead of schedule.

The Portland Ship Yard / Cascade General reactivated four vessels as part of
the Government’s Foreign Military Sales program - USS OUTLETTE (Royal Thai
Navy), USS BEAUFORT and the USS BRUNSWICK (Korean Navy) and HMNZS
RESOLUTION (New Zealand Navy). Work included drydocking, coating, rebuilding
engines and reactivation of systems.

Additional work consisted of extensive repair and overhaul of the
USCGC POLAR STAR, CHEVRON LOUISIANA, S/R LONG BEACH, B/T ALASKA,
S/R BENICIA, CORNUCOPIA, S/S MARINE CHEMIST, M/V BANEASE,
SIERRA MADRE, S/R NORTH SLOPE, S/S DENALI, OVERSEAS CHICAGO,
C/S NEXUS, OVERSEAS NEW YORK, TONSINA, CHEVRON MISSISSIPPI,

3. Avondale Industries, Inc. - Shipyards Division

Avondale's Shipyards Division is located on the west bank of the Mississippi
River approximately 22 kilometers upriver from New Orleans, LA. Avondale,
previously a wholly owned subsidiary of Ogden Corp., was sold in 1985 to its
employees in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Since 1938, Avondale
has constructed a full range of Navy and commercial ships, as well as Coast Guard
cutters and offshore drilling rigs, platforms, jackets, and production modules. It
has the distinction of being the only American shipyard to have constructed LASH
vessels.

Avondale also maintains an active repair operation for commercial and naval
vessels. Ships and offshore drilling rigs are repaired by Avondale's Shipyards
Division. Inland waterway and offshore oil vessels are repaired by Avondale's
Algiers Yard.

Avondale's orderbook as of September 30, 1997, consisted of one dock
landing ship (LSD), one Coast Guard polar icebreaker (WAGB), five Sealift
ships (T-AKR’s) with options for two more, one amphibious transport dock ship
(LPD), and two 125,000 dwt product carriers with options for three more.

Avondale's Shipyards Division totals 108 hectares and contains three
outfitting docks equipped with supporting shops and over 1,431 meters of pier
space. The upper yard shipbuilding area has two large positions to accommodate
vessels up to 311 meters in length by 53 meters beam. The major part of one
ship can be erected along with the stern section of a second ship on position
No. 1, while a third hull is being completed on position No. 2. Ships constructed
in the upper yard move laterally in three positions for launching in Avondale's
81,000-ton floating drydock, which can accommodate ships as large as
305 meters by 66 meters, with a lifting capacity of 82,296 metric tons.
Avondale's lower yard has a side-launching construction area that has three large
positions to accommodate ships as large as 366 meters by 38 meters. Ships built
in the lower yard move laterally toward the river and parallel to the river in five
Positions. Up to five large vessels, greater than 213 meters LOA, can be
constructed simultaneously in the lower yard. A 20,000-ton Panamax floating
drydock, which can accommodate ships up to 229 meters by 35 meters and has a
lifting capacity of 20,320 metric tons, is moored down river from this area.

Avondale has a facility located at Gulfport, MS, capable of building vessels
137 meters long by 27 meters beam. In 1988, Avondale executed a long-term
lease of the ex-Todd Shipbuilding Corp.'s New Orleans yard, now called the
Avondale Algiers Repair and Overhaul Facility, which is used for ship repair,
conversion, overhaul and lay berthing.

In mid-1997, the total employment was about 5,114.

8. Gunderson, Inc.

Established in 1919 as a steel fabricator, Gunderson has been a ship and
barge builder since 1942. Since the 1970's, the primary marine work at
Gunderson has been building oceangoing barges. From 1973-1977, the company
built five double-hull, gas turbine-electric drive oil tankers for Chevron Shipping
Company, San Francisco, CA. After those tank ships, 38 oceangoing barges,
most exceeding 122 meters in length, were built. They included four of the
world's largest triple-deck RO/RO barges, 177 meters by 32 meters, several
32 meter by 122 meter deck cargo and tank barges, four 76 meter split hull
hopper barges, and a 128 meter crane barge equipped with a 500-ton helipad.
Gunderson has also built military boats, landing craft, lifeboats, tugs, deckhouses,
hopper and tank barges and a variety of other specialized marine craft.

From 1965 to 1985, Gunderson was owned by FMC Corporation, now
based in Chicago, IL, and operated under the name of the Marine and Rail
Equipment Division of FMC until The Greenbrier Companies bought the facility in
February 1985. In February 1995, the new Gunderson returned to the barge
building business after a 10 year shut down. Gunderson's yard is located on a 30
hectare parcel with approximately 0.8 kilometers of frontage on the west bank of
the Willamette River, about 3.2 kilometers downstream of the downtown
Portland, OR waterfront. As such, Gunderson has access to all three drydocks
available at Portland Ship Yard/Cascade General and the services of the ship repair
and outfitting contractors who regularly utilize this facility.

Gunderson's facilities and production workforce, which averages some
1,200 skilled and semi-skilled workers, can be and are utilized to build both marine
equipment and railroad freight cars, including the most advanced designs in
double-stack railcars. Capable of launching vessels up to 229 meters in length,
32 meters in breadth and weighing as much as 9,000 tons, Gunderson is currently
seeking work in the construction of large oceangoing deck cargo (open and
closed) hopper barges, deckhouses, cranes and double hulled petroleum tank’
barges up to 20,000 dwt capacity. Gunderson's launch capacity can be readily
increased to accommodate vessels weighing as much as 10,000 metric tons and
its steel throughput capacity for all products is currently 1,016 metric tons per
month. Gunderson also has a 335 meter, crane served, outfitting dock.

The September 30, 1997 backlog is one 91 meter by 26 meter, 6,100 cubic
meter aggregate barge and one 67 meter by 16 meter suction dredge.

As of mid-1997, total employment at Gunderson Shipyard averaged

1,100 people, with approximately 132 of these producing marine equipment. The
remainder of the workforce was involved in the construction of rallroad cars.

4. Baltimore Marine Industries, Inc.

The Baltimore Marine Industries, Inc. (BMI) shipyard at Baltimore, MD, is
located on the Patapsco River in the port of Baltimore. Established in 1891, the
yard became a part of the Bethlehem Steel organization in 1916 and was a major
shipbuilder during both World Wars. During World War Il, it constructed
101 vessels of 16 different classes. During the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's, the
yard was among the most active in the nation, specializing in series construction
of standard size tankers up to very large crude carriers (VLCC’s), freighters, and
containerships.

Since 1981, the yard has constructed six integrated tug barge (ITB) tankers,
six offshore drilling rigs, three container feeder barges, and two oceanographic
survey ships (T-AG’s) for the U.S. Navy. During this same period the yard
adapted to changing markets by increased efforts in ship conversion, repair and
industrial fabrication. In addition to numerous drydockings and repairs of
commercial and naval ships, 3 RO/ROs have been converted to Maritime
prepositioning ships, 12 RO/ROs have been reflagged, and tunnel sections for a
new Interstate 664 - Hampton Roads tunnel complex and new tunnel sections for
the new Interstate 90 project in Boston have been completed.

In early October 1997, the assets of the yard were purchased from
Bethlehem Steel Corp. by Veritas Capital. L.L.C., of New York. Having succeeded
in retaining the yard’s management and its workforce, Veritas immediately opened
it for business as BMI.

The major component of this shipyard is the graving dock (the second
largest in the U.S.) for the construction or repair of ships as large as 365 meters
by 59 meters with a maximum weight of about 300,000 dwt. A two-position
intermediate gate has been installed to increase the flexibility of the graving dock
by dividing it into two sections. In one position the graving dock sections are
274 meters and 91 meters in length. In the second position, the sections are
208 meters and 157 meters in length.

The graving dock gate has been modified to allow “super flooding” of the
dock, which permits the docking of deeper draft ships.

Complementing the large graving dock, which is served by four 181-metric
ton revolving cranes, the shipyard has a floating drydock capable of lifting
44,735 metric tons. The drydock can accommodate vessels up to 274 meters in
length. with a maximum. beam of 40 meters and a maximum draft of 9 meters. The
entry channel to the yard has a depth of 9 meters. Four outfitting berths are
available with a combined length of 1,210 meters. The berths are served by four
cranes with lifting capacities up to 45 metric tons. Several mobile cranes of
various capacities are also available.

At mid-1997, Baltimore Marine Industries employed 857 people.

AVERAGE EARNINGS IN U.S, PRIVATE SHIPYARDS

Average hourly earnings in the U.S. private shipyards are presented on a "gross" basis,
reflecting not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates, but also such
variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work, as well as changes in
output for workers paid on an incentive plan. Averages of hourly earnings differ from
wage rates. Earnings are the actual return to the workers for a stated period of time;
rates are the amount stipulated for a given unit of work or time. Gross average weekly
earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average hourly
earnings, but also by changes in the length of the workweek.

The annual average earnings of the private shipyards in the United States from 1982
through the first eleven months of 1997 show an increase from $10.22 to an average of
$14.53. (Exhibit 32). During the same period, the average weekly earnings rose from

$407.91 to $635.30.

15. Newport News Shipbuilding

Newport News Shipbuilding, located at the Port of Hampton Roads in
Newport News, VA, is the largest shipbuilding complex in the nation. The
company, founded in 1886, has recently returned to being a publicly owned
corporation. Newport News has delivered 26 aircraft carriers, 53 nuclear-powered
submarines, and over 120 other surface ships for the U.S. Navy. Commercial
vessels delivered by the yard include 71 cargo ships, 86 tankers, 61 passenger
ships, (most notably the famed superliner UNITED STATES), and more than
50 other self-propelled vessels. Newport News was a pioneer in the field of
jumboizing ships, and since 1957, has completed 34 such operations.

Newport News is the nation's foremost shipbuilder. As of
September 30, 1997, the yard was at work on two Nimitz class aircraft carriers
and eight 46,000 dwt product tankers. Newport News and Electric Boat have
teamed to design and build the next class of nuclear submarines. Newport News
is also involved in the overhaul and repair of nuclear-powered submarines and
surface ships for the Navy as well as commercial repair work.

Docks - There are eight docking facilities. Drydock 12, the largest building
basin in the nation, can accommodate vessels up to 661 meters. in length by
75 meters beam. An intermediate gate will permit the simultaneous construction
of two major ships in the dry dock. A 900-metric ton gantry crane, one of the
largest in the western hemisphere, can handle completely outfitted assemblies.
Dry Docks 10 and 11, which are serviced by a 315-metric ton gantry crane, can
be used for construction work, but are used primarily for ship overhaul, repair and
deactivation. Dry Docks 1-4 are used mainly for ship repair and overhaul, and the
floating dry dock, which is 195 meters by 41, supports ship construction from the
module outfitting facility and repair work.

Vessel Berthing - Newport News has two outfitting berths totaling
799 meters each serviced by 30-metric ton cranes. There are three piers totaling
1,944 meters of berthing space and serviced by cranes with capacities of up to
50 metric tons, plus two small piers at the module outfitting facility.

ing - A $68 million "World-Class Shipbuilder Project" is currently
underway to add robotics and updated computer systems to Newport News
fabrication process.

number of capital projects including drydock extension, crane overhaul, automated
steel factory, consolidated refueling facility and carrier innovation center.
