Tue ldea OF the standardized fabricated
snip and is laying out yard that will
nave tour more ways than that of the
Submarine and be second only to the
Hog Island yard.
rarity due to the railway congestion
of the winter and partly due to other
causes the Submarine corporation was
set back about sixty days in getting
sufficient steel. This delay will prob
ably postpone the scheduled launching
dates OF the first boats, but it is hoped
that 1t will not delay the average date
of delivery of the first fifty ships.
Submarine
Took a Chance
This yard is much further advanced
in every respect than either Hog Island
or Bristol, the other two fabricated
ship plants owned by the government
and built and operated under private
direction. This is partly due to the
fact that the Submarine took q chance
and began work before its contract was
actually signed and partly due to the
fact that it has not made the yard
equipment so elaborate and permanent
as in the Hog Island yard. Another
factor that favored it is that it has
had no housing problem, having found
it possible to procure quarters for all
its employees outside the yards and
arrange satisfactory transportation for
them, though it was handicapped IN
this latter respect for some time
l should say that the Submarine
plant is now 90 per cent complete. TO
say nothing of the work that has
actually sbeen done on sixteen ships.
Progress is equally satisfactory in
regard to "breaking in" labor and
bears out the contention that the con-
structon Of fabricated ships is not q
shipbuilding JOB at ali in the old sense.
An abundance Of labor is available, and
men who have never worked on ships
before are being made proficient for
their particular narrowly specialized
fields in remarkably short time.

Ways Practically
Ready for keels

ALI of the Submarines twenty eight
vavs are now practically ready for the
keels and they are actually laid down
in whole Or in part on sixteen ways.
The great derrick towers between each

shius progress is now far beyond the
keel stage, the bottom frames being
placed. as we'll as the bottom plates,
and the fabricated uprights are begin
ming to make quite showing.
The absolutely perpendicular lines of
these supports in the midship sections
make it hard to realize that the ships
are really ships and not some sort of
stationary steel structure. Then comes
the realization that the fabricated ship
is little more than an inclosed steel
bridge upside down and in the water
instead OF over it.

from London, also visited the Subma-
