IN 12 MONTHS WE MADE THE BALTIMORE TRADER TWICE THE SHIP SHE WAS. June 25, 1971. It was a great day. The Baltimore Trader sailed out of Newport •V t News Shipbuilding 28,786 dwt larger, 196 feet longer, 24 feet wider and eight feet deeper. It was our twenty-seventh jumboizing job. By the people who coined the word "jumboizing." The Baltimore Trader is the largest job of its ki nd we've done so far. Cargo capacity was increased to 460,000 barrels. More than double the original capacity. A record. And we built the forebody and joined it to the stern faster than our estimate. Another new record for speed. But then, that's why we're known as the fast ones. Fast in any type of conversion. And fast in any type of ship repair. Even emer- gency work. As well as routine voyage repairs and overhauls. So whether it's a conversion or repai r job, we hop to it. Because our people are efficient. And because they're backed up by un- matched facilities. Regardless of the type job, we do it al I in our one yard. The larg- est private yard i n the world. A yard with innovative research and development groups. Three foundries that can pour the finest castings of iron, steel and nonferrous metals. Modern, automatic steel handling facilities that make it easy to fabricate metal up to four inches thick into complex shapes. And a lot of well-equipped machine shops geared to put on the finish- ing touches. So if your ship needs a little work, or a lot, come in. You'll prob- ably sail out faster than you thought.
