Campbell Tuna Superseiner —First For New York Group Sliding down the ways into San Diego Bay is the Sandra C., newest 1,200-ton-capacity tuna superseiner. Shown under construction at the right is her sister ship, which will be named the Marjorie R. The Sandra 'C., newest in a series of tuna superseiners built by 'Campbell Industries, was recently 'launched at the Campbell Marine Division, San Diego, Calif. The new ship, valued at approximately $3 million, will be owned by J.W. Uhlein and Associates of New York. She is the first of two seiners being built under contract for the group, and represents the start of their new fleet, which will fish for Van Camp Sea Food Company, a division of Ralston-Purina Com- pany. Designed and constructed by the Campbell Marine Division, the vessel will now undergo outfitting at the company's facilities on San Diego Bay. Principal speaker for the event was Hans H. Sammer, senior vice president of New York Securities 'Company. Jack G. Allen, Campbell Industries' vice president, officiated as master of ceremonies. Sponsor for the christening of the Sandra C. was Mrs. J. Wyatt Uhlein, wife of one of the principal investors. She was attended by Mrs. Donald Swartz. Fr. James Rafferty of St. Agnes Catholic Church, San Diego, performed the blessing. According to Campbell president George Soares, the Sandra C. will be equipped with the company's full standard fishing equipment package, including a Marco seine winch and Campbell's proprietary design anchor winch. Other major equipment on board will include Vilter refrigeration, a Brunvoll, 200-hp hydrau- lic bow thruster and an anti-roll stabilizer. The new ship is 218 feet long, has a 40-foot beam, and will carry a frozen fish payload of approximately 1,200 tons. Her speed will be approximately 17 knots. The main propulsion engine for the Sandra C. will be a 20-cylinder General Motors marine diesel, driving a five-blade Coolidge stainless steel propeller through a Falk reduction gear. Auxiliary power will be supplied through three Caterpillar 300-kw generator sets. Navigational aids and other electronic gear will include a Taiyo ADF, Omega Micro Navi- gation System, two Kelvin-Hughes long-range radars, two single side-band radios, three emer- gency radios, two VHF-FM radios, Simrad depth sounder, Decca depth recorder and a PA/intercom system. In other construction, Campbell's subsidiary, San Diego Marine Construction Corporation, is currently building three bulbous-bow seiners of its own design and has a fourth undergoing outfitting. Two more superseiners and a harbor tug are also under construction in the Camp- bell Marine Division shipyard. The company's aluminum facility is building three all-alumi- num high-speed ferryboats under a $12.6-mil- lion contract with the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, San Francisco. The first of the ferryboats is sched- uled for delivery in June 1974.
