today in one of the quietest launch
ings ever staged at the Newport

The launching was almost en-
tirely devoid of color as a result of
wartime restrictions. Only a hand
full of people were on the sponsors S

president of the Mobile (AlaD City
Commission, as she smashed bottle
OF champagne against the cruisers
bow a second before the warship
eased into the James River.

included Rear Admiral o. L. Cox,
supervisor of ship building at the
Newport News plant: Rear Admiral
Manley H. Simons, commandant of
the 5th Naval District. and Rear
Admiral Andrew Pickens of WASH

The present Mobile is the last of
trio of warships launched in the
