A BIG LIFT
Theodore Roosevelt (CVN71), the first air-
craft carrier built making extensive use of modular
construction, was commissioned 16 months before
contract delivery date, saving the U. S. Navy and
American taxpayers over $80 million.
Abraham Lincoln (CVN72) and George
Washington (CVN73) are the next two aircraft
carriers being built through modular construction.
At Newport News Shipbuilding, we're proud our
900 ton lifts give a big lift to our nation's ability
to meet its global commitments.

plications. Both products are of-
fered in a complete range of capaci-
ties to meet the needs of commercial
and military use. After sales needs
are fulfilled by worldwide, factory
stocked service centers, manufac-
turing licensees and service repre-
sentatives.
Chloropac installations control
the complete range of marine
growth—from bacteria and slime to
barnacles and mussels. Marine
operators select Chloropac to elimi-
nate downtime for cleaning and im-
prove heat transfer. Now studies
show that eliminating bacteria re-
duces corrosion—a further benefit
in both reduced maintenance and
extended service life.
Capac has introduced a new cor-
rosion control anode for high pres-
sure or deep submergence (DS). Uti-
lizing proven military concepts, this
DS design incorporates wrought
platinum clad on a niobium sub-
strate. The anode is mounted either
flush or recessed into the structure.
Once the gland is welded in place
the anode can be replaced while the
structure is submerged.
DS anodes were initially installed
on offshore oil production plat-
forms. The diver serviceable (DS)
feature of the anode is highly pre-
ferred when damage to the anode is
likely. Therefore, icebreakers now
utilize the DS design as well. Other
ship and rig operators have speci-
fied DS for their applications, since
the diver serviceable feature assures
100% cathodic protection capacity
without delay and cost of drydock-
ing.

in providing equipment and service,

Intermarine is the current contrac-
tor. The original plan had been to
delay second source qualification
until FY 1989.
Army T u g b o a t s
The Congress refused to appro-
priate new funds for procuring
Army tugboats in FY 1988. A report
was requested from DOD assessing
the alternatives for manning and
operating these tugboats. Among
the options is transfer of the mission
to the Military Sealift Command.
Fast Sealift Initiative
Navy has been directed to survey
the international shipping market
to determine whether used ships are
available which could be purchased
and converted similar to the SL-7
program. If no such ships are avail-
able, Navy is directed to begin de-
sign of a new ship capable of sus-
tained speeds exceeding 30 knots.
Surface effect technology is among
the design options to be explored.
High S p e e d P a t r o l B o a t s
Congressional authorizers have
recommended that Navy evaluate a
new high speed assault and missile
boat.
WEAPONS &
OTHER P R O C U R E M E N T
Funding for weapons and other
procurement was set at a slightly
lower level than requested. The
Navy asked for $11.5 billion for
these programs. Congress appro-
priated $10.8 billion. Details are
shown in Exhibits 2 and 3.
Small S u b m e r s i b l e
Navy was given $15 million to
purchase a small submersible in or-
der to assess its performance as an
advanced swimmer delivery system.
Ship S u r v i v a l S y s t e m s
MSC received approval to spend
$10 million in FY 1988 to procure
U.S. built, totally enclosed survival
systems. These state-of-the-art en-
closed lifeboats will be fitted aboard
T-ships in the MSC fleet.
MK 5 0 Torpedo
Navy asked for $222 million to
buy 153 MK 50 Advanced Light-
weight Torpedoes in FY 1988. There
have been technical problems in this
program and Congress limited pro-
curement to 16 units. GAO has been
directed to perform a cost effective-
