is such as to lead the department. to
fully believe that present activities will
be maintained.
From it's geographic location and
the facilitiss possessed, the department
recognizes Norfolk as the yard at
which most of the unforeseen and
emergency work can be accomplished.
The recent visit of the Baltimore and
the rebuilding of the Warrington are
examples of this class of work.
