fioated into the James River at the
yards of the Newport News Ship
building and Drydock Co.
Three keel plates were laid today.
One Of the keel plates is COL feet
long, said to be the largest com
mercial ship keel ever laid down in
the United States.
Though the launchings today do not
compare with the great daily tonnage
launched at Hog Island during the
war when the Nation was calling for
ships, it does represent the greatest
variety of launchings at one time in
the history Of American shipbuilding,
