U.S. Navy Ship Overhaul Market JULY 16, 1985 - An Update - (SEE PAGE 4) INTRODUCING THE EPOCH MARK D SERIES A new era in product oil carrier design.

Hitachi Zosen has developed the EPOCH MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs. Revolutionary in concept, the MARKII incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure. While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength. This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARKII product oil carriers provide unrivaled advantages in performances over more conventional designs. The EPOCH MARK n series is available in 40, 60 and 80 thousands dwt designs. And has won the approval of leading classification societies (ABS, BV, LR, NK, NV). At present The Superior Performance of the EPOCH MARK n Series: many worldwide patents are under application. Conventional EPOCH MARK Hitachi Zosen is also expanding this new structural system for the development of combination cargo carriers such as PROBO or Tank configuration OBO carriers other than oil tankers.

Circle 12 on Reader Service Card During the past 12 months, Dil- lingham Ship Repair in Portland, Ore., has performed some major repair and conversion jobs. Mitsui In- tegrated Propeller Ducts were installed on four 165,000-dwt tankers—Brooks Range, Exxon North Slope, Kenai, and Thompson Pass. These ducts, each weighing 70 tons with a diameter of 35 feet, were manufactured by Mitsui in Japan and shipped to the Portland yard via containership. Another noteworthy job was the rebuilding of the rudder stock and rudder of the 225,000-dwt tanker Bay Ridge. The rudder weighed 180 tons and the stock 150 tons. This was a 17-day job; similar work on two sister ships performed in Rot- terdam and South Africa took 40 and 70 days to accomplish. A six-month job on the Alaska State ferry Matanuska involved a complete re-engining of both main engines, reduction gears, shafting, and propellers. The original fixed propellers were replaced with CP units. The job also included refurbishing of the engine room controls, pumps, piping, and electrical other than the generating sets. Other jobs included the installation of a Foster Wheeler inert gas generating system on the tanker Chevron Colorado, and the replacement of the main reduction gear on the tanker Exxon North Slope. Recent upgrading of facilities at Dillingham included the purchase and installation of two 100-ton chain air hoists manufactured in West Germany, and the installation of a test rack for valves up to 36- Your Best Source for Repair Parts and More. inch.

Before heading north, the Klondike participated in two significant tests under lease to Crowley Maritime—scheduled service to Catalina Island from San Pedro and from San Francisco to the Marin Peninsula.

LOCKHEED SHIPBUILDING Circle 32 on Reader Service Card Lockheed Shipbuilding Company located on Seattle's Elliott Bay, is completing construction of the second and third ships of a three-ship construction contract signed in 1981. The first of the new class of dock landing ships, U.S.S. Whidbey Island (LSD-41), was delivered to the Navy earlier this year. These three amphibious assault ships are 650 feet in length and have a beam of 84 feet. The dock landing ships are designed to accommodate four air cushioned landing craft (LCAC) in a 440-foot wet well. The Whidbey Island class of dock landing ships are designed to replace the aging Thomaston class dock landing ships. The three giant amphibious assault ships were designed by Lock- heed Shipbuilding Company and are being constructed under two separate contracts totalling more than $900 million. The second of the class, the U.S.S. Germantown (LSD-42), is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in early 1986 and the third is scheduled for delivery in June 1987. Lockheed's Shipyard is part of the Lockheed Marine Systems Group which also includes the Ad- vanced Systems function at Santa Clara and San Diego, Calif. In conjunction with its AMS Division, Lockheed Shipbuilding is developing a twin-hulled patrol ship called SWATH (small waterplane area twin hull).

Admiral Ike Kidd said it concisely: "If the (merchant ship)-owning nations chose to deny sealift to us, the result could be economic blackmail to which we could not respond in peacetime, much less in war." This concern was dramatized by the following fictional scenario by Harlan Ullman in the May issue of Naval Institute Proceedings which, if present downward trends continue for the merchant marine and shipbuilding industries, could be tomorrow's reality. Thus, scenario number four: • "It is winter 1990. The war in the Persian Gulf between Iran and Iraq, after ten years of bloodshed, If our insurance broker has finally spilled over.

In 1956, Con- gress recognized the importance of maintaining a geographically-dis- persed shipbuilding mobilization base to enable us to build ships when and where they're needed, on all three coasts, and enacted statute 10.7302.
