"Armed with new Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles," Secretary Weinberger points out in his an- nual report, "these ship are capable of striking land or sea targets from points over the horizon. Their origi- nal 16-inch guns provide a much needed boost in naval gunfire sup- port capability." An additional $435.6 million will be requested next year to complete Wisconsin's reactivation, if current estimates hold. No shipyard has been named to carry out the reactivation/mod- ernization program, but if the ear- lier public yard/private yard rota- tion is followed it seems likely a joint contract would be signed with Avondale Shipyards (Westwego, La.) and Litton's Ingalls Shipbuild- ing Division (Pascagoula, Miss), which combined on Iowa's reactiva- tion/modernization. CG-47 Aegis Cruiser: Possibly the most technologically sophisticated surface ship in the world, the CG-47 Ticonderoga-class Aegis fleet air de- fense cruiser is designed to protect the Navy's carrier and battleship task groups by neutralizing or de- stroying incoming enemy aircraft and missiles. The name ship in the program, USS Ticonderoga (CG- 47), performed outstandingly as part of the multinational peace- keeping force off Lebanon. Armed with SM-2 and Harpoon missiles, two 5-inch guns, and other systems, the CG-47s also will be able to meet most surface-ship and submarine threats mounted against the battle groups they protect.

The latter will carry only two LCACs but will have considera- bly more cargo space.

In a technically unprecedented move, CGCO has produced CHG gears with a diameter well over 100 inches (9 feet) for use in a new class of T-AO fleet oilers developed by the U.S. Navy and being con- structed by Avondale Shipyards. The T-AO is powered by two 16,500-bhp diesel engines, each cou- How do you mark the spot at pled to a CGCO gearbox. This ma- chining milestone has established Cincinnati Gear as the primary source for all CHG gears over this diameter. These large gears can be produced to meet AGMA Class 15 level quality requirements, while some of the elements may exceed AGMA 15 levels. Propulsion systems making use of the higher level AGMA quality gears operate with much lower noise and vibration levels than conven- tional gearboxes. Moreover, audible noise signatures sent out by noisy drive trains are greatly reduced, al- lowing warships to move closer to their targets without being de- tected. And because the gears have been made to a specified blueprint value, mating is not required when retrofitting; an individual gear can be replaced instead of the entire gearbox. In drive systems using CHG gears, the gear tooth surfaces gener- ally have a Rockwell C hardness val- ue of 60. As a result, gears are designed with a high power density allowing the manufacture of large marine drives being at least 20 per- cent smaller and lighter than con- ventional through-hardened designs developed during World War II. To accomplish the grinding of large precision gears, CGCO has in- stalled the largest ultra-precision grinder in the U.S. It is equipped Accurate position measurement is our business.

Rug- ged control components provide de- pendable operation under extreme operating conditions experienced in shipboard installations. The rela- tively uncomplicated component and control system construction fa- cilitates maintenance and service- ability, contributing to extended system life and low maintenance costs. Production control systems such as Gearmaster, Logicmaster Hy- draulic Clutch, and Logicmaster Air Clutch are available for standard engine reverse gear applications. They combine proven, high-per- formance WABCO Pneumatic com- ponents in factory-assembled, test- ed, and pre-adjusted control units to simplify shipboard installation. All components are sub-base mounted, where possible, for easy and convenient servicing. These sys- tems are generally applicable for installation up to 4,000 bhp per engine. Recent control techniques com- bine the advantages of electronics and pneumatics to provide high- speed, electronic signal transmis- sion from very distant remote sta- tions, converted to pneumatic power at the engine location to perform the normal interlocking, sequenc- ing, and positioning operations re- quired.

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 II Series: many worldwide patents are under application. Conventional EPOCH MARK II 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.
