I'VE did not wish to so into the
business of building ships" Mr.. Gary
said. This was entirely out Of our
line, but we were approached by gem
t'emen interested in governmental af-
fairs to see If we could assist in
building ships when they were most
needed.
After careful study we decided
that we could build ships at least as
cheaply and as rapidly and get into
the business as quickly as any one
else. We started two plants. each
having ten ways, one located near
Newark. y. J., and the other at Mo-
bile. Ala.
we started the construction Of
the Newark plant in August of last
year, and we expect to launch the
first ship by the middle of May and
complete the ship between the first
and fifteenth of July. The plant at
Mobile is a duplicate of the one at
Newark. The two yards together
