bringing the total of this group to 16; five nuclear attack submarines of the Los Angeles class were started, with a total of 12 now under contract; one nuclear-powered frigate of the Virginia class brought the total of this ship type on order to five. Con- tract for one replenishment oiler (AOR) was awarded in mid-Decem- ber, and an order for two submarine tenders (AS) is expected soon. "1972 also witnessed the start of production design for a smaller patrol frigate (PF) and of a new Trident class of ballistic-missile submarine; initial design was undertaken for a prototype 2,200-ton surface effect ship (SES) as follow-on to two 100- ton prototypes now under test, and design was commenced for a new class of sea control ship (SCS)—a vessel of about 15,000 tons displace- ment carrying about 17 aircraft, in- cluding helicopters and vertical or short take-off and landing-type air- craft. Low-key development was continued of a 180-ton guided mis- sile hydrofoil patrol craft, part of a cooperative NATO effort, and six more Polaris / Poseidon submarine conversions were awarded. "Private employment stood at 134,- 900 in September 1972, up from a low of 125,200 in June 1971. The preliminary 1972 estimate of the value of work done by the private shipbuilding and repair industry in 1972 is $2.8 billion." Frank Reynolds loins Santa Fe International We've changed our name but not the way we keep ships moving. When you see our fuel barges and product packages again, you'll notice they are sporting our new trademark, Exxon®. We're using it coast to coast. And on January 1, Humble Oil & Refining Company became Exxon Company, U.S.A. What does it mean to you? Exxon means all that we've meant to you before. The same fine petroleum products and the same technical expertise. This is why we can deliver advanced products like our new alkaline system oil, TRO-MAR® AS 65. It's also why we have a large fleet of tugs, barges and trucks ready to supply your ship at major U.S. ports with the right fuels and lubes at the right time. And none of this will change just because we've changed our name. So welcome our new Exxon name as you sail in U.S. waters. It's a new name for all the ways we help you keep things moving.
