As a result of the LHD-1 contract and activity at the yard in the construction of the CG-47 Class Aegis guided- missile cruisers, employment is expected to increase to 13,000 in late 1986. During peak construction periods, as many as 2,500 Ingalls employees will be involved in the construction of LHD-1. In addition to the lead ship, the Navy currently carries three additional LHD- 1 Class assault ships in its five-year shipbuilding program. Ingalls will begin fabrication work on LHD-1 this summer, with delivery scheduled in 1989. The new ships are similar in design to the five Tarawa (LHA-1) Class general-purpose amphibious assault ships built by Ingalls in the 1970s. While LHD-1 will have a similar hull, propulsion equipment, and living spaces as the LHAs now in service with the Fleet, several key characteristics of the new ship will distin- guish her from an LHA. One difference will be the enclosed well deck built into the stern and opened to the sea through a huge stern gate. This feature is specifically designed to accommodate air cushion landing craft that will "fly" into and out of the ship's dry well deck. The ship also will be capable of ballasting Artist's conception of LHD-1, lead ship in the Navy's next class of amphibious assault ships down to permit wet-well operations with conventional landing craft.

Capt. William Searle, USN (Ret.), chairman of Searle Consortium, Ltd., an international consulting firm in the field of marine salvage, towing, and ship repair, was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Northern New England Section of the Ameri- can Society of Naval Engineers. Speaking to members and guest at the Portsmouth, N.H., Naval Shipyard Officers' Club, Captain Searle gave a presentation of the commercial marine salvage business. Em- phasizing that the primary aim of the salvor is the saving of ships and their cargoes, his illustrated case histories ranged from burning tankers to grounded vessels and harbor-clear- ing projects. Audience reaction was such that LHD-1 Class will be similar in most respects to five Tarawa (LHA-1) Class general-purpose amphibious assault ships built by only the need to adjourn the meeting put an Ingalls in the 1970s.

The occasional sinking of ships and capsizing of offshore structures, especially in hostile, frigid environments, are reminders that the perils of the sea are still with us. In many of these disasters, official investigations have found that hypothermia (low body heat) was the primary contributing cause of death for some of the victims, who might have been saved if they had been wearing protective exposure suits when they were in the icy waters. On February 7, 1984, the U.S. Coast Guard published a final Rule in the Federal Register that will require offshore drilling rigs and certain other vessels operating in frigid waters off the outer continental shelf of the United States to carry survival suits for workers to wear if they are forced to abandon the platforms because of an acci- dent. This Rule becomes effective 180 days after the publication date. The ME I EN editors asked manufacturers and suppliers of shipboard safety and survival equipment to tell us about their latest developments in products and services. The review that follows is based on the replies that had been received up to press time.

"I KNOW HE'S GOOD, I TRAINED HIM If you think the shipyard business is all nuts and bolts, you're wrong. It's a people business, plain and simple. The best yards are the ones with the most experienced supervisors, and the best-trained workers. Bill Greenwood, top photo, is a great example. He's one of the last great Coppersmiths in our business. An artist with copper, galvanized and stainless. Like most of our key men, Bill's been with us almost forever - about 36 years. Bill and our other senior people do more than just supervise jobs. They spend years as teachers. Passing on their skills to younger men like Gene Stafford. Gene is well on his way to being one of the best. In fact, Gene now does what Bill did, which gives Bill a little more time to fish. What you get from us is a well-trained, intelligent, motivated work force. And that saves you and us hassles and, especially money Sure, we've got nuts and bolts too, and all the stuff the other yards have. And in Savannah we've got beautiful year-round weather, so there are fewer delays than up north. But the mam reason to come to Savannah is Bill Greenwood, Gene Stafford and our other heavy hitters. Remember, to do a job once - correctly - a yard needs skilled people. Because that is what saves you time and money on your voyage repairs, major conversions, alterations, or drydocking. Savannah Shipyard Co. You can't find a better yard anywhere. Ttelex 546426 SAVMACSHIP SAV, PO. Box 787, Savannah, Ga. 31402. Tblephone (912) 233-6621.
