The company's current flagship, Queen Elizabeth 2 , this port's longest and largest visitor, was launched by Her Majesty at the Clydebank yard of John Brown and Company on September 20, 1967. A much earlier, notable royal occasion on August 17, 1954, was when the Queen launched the Shaw Savill Line's Southern Cross at Harland and Wolff's Belfast shipyard. This vessel's long career has just ended. Billed as the largest, longest, widest and most expensive cruise ship ever built, QM2 is expected to be handed over by its St Nazaire builders, Chantiers de l'Atlantique, on December 22. It will undergo its second set of sea trials from November 7 to 11. The ship is expected to attract considerable interest when it arrives at Southampton later in December.

  • 9. Arms Production
    9. Arms production ELISABETH SKÖNS and EAMON SURRY I. Introduction The process of adaptation to the new security environment continues in the arms industry. In the United States the industry is adjusting to the new demands created by the ongoing transformation of the armed forces, the privatization of military services and the increasing importance of the home- land security sector. In Europe the emphasis is on intra-European consoli- dation and access to the expanding US ‘market’, that is, the US Government’s arms procurement budget. This chapter describes recent developments in the major arms-producing companies in Europe and North America. Section II considers data on the 100 largest arms-producing companies in the world (excluding China) in 2003.1 Section III analyses the major acquisitions of companies with arms- producing activities in 2004 and compares company size in the arms industry and the size of some national economies. Section IV provides a brief descrip- tion of the military services industry, which has expanded in the post-cold war period, in particular in the USA, and has been further reinforced by the war in Iraq. In Europe the two sectors that have undergone the least restructuring during the post-cold war period are the military vehicle and military ship- building industries: section V describes attempts to restructure the European military shipbuilding industry during 2004. Section VI considers transparency in the arms sales of the major arms- producing companies and sets this in the context of other types of trans- parency initiative in the industry more generally. It describes a loosely defined industry that is subject to a wide variety of attempts at regulation, emphasizing that such attempts tend to be directed not specifically at arms-producing com- panies but at broader industrial sectors.
