THE "hard-to-pIease" attitude of the Defoe ship
i builder is not a war measure. It's lifelong
Defoe tradition. Harry J. Defoe-who founded the
yard nearly forty years ago-and his crew are old
hands at building sea-going vessels. They know
that even peace-time ships that 60 down to sea
must be built to withstand battering that no land
bound structure receives.
Today this experience is paying extra dividends
to the Navy in the form of sound construction,
added protection for crews, and lower manu-
featuring costs The feet built for the Navy in the
