Real Crux Of Program.
The real crux of the recondtioning
program, however. lies In the change
in the lines of the hulls themselves.
The vessels owned by the Shipping
Board are nearly all designed for
speed not exceeding II knots an
hour. To compete in world trade
with modern day freighters. vessel
must have a speed Of between IL ana
Is knots an hour. To force the pres
er,t hulls through the water at the
speed OF Is knots would require such
a terrific power unit as to make IL
economically impossible.
The engineer outlining the new pro
gram has overcome this by changing
the lines Of the hulls from the stem
to the forward collision bulkhead
Midship sections remain the same
and the only change needed at the
stern is the addition of two or three
new plates and one complete casting
The proper ratio for the propulsion
or the VeSSeI, between tne HHcS anu
the power plant within the hull, is
obtained through manipulating the
pitch Of the propeller. This involves
the most compllcating series of calcu
lations known to modern marine engi'
neering.
President Coolidge Quoted.
President Coolidge has distinctly
said there will be no more money to
build new ships for the Shipping
Board. He said this with the com
plete understanding of this program
outlined above before him. These old
vessels may be reconditioned for go
per cent of what it would cost to
build a corresponding new ship in
American yards.
This program Is not visionary
one. The reconditioning of the
Agamemnon and the Mount Vernon
has already proved the possibilities
as outlined. The Shipping Board at
present has In the neighborhood of
502 ships laid up. 1t is not known
how many Of these are fit for such
reconditioning, but there are enough
to dominate ocean freight business
completely IL the program is carried
out.
