The shipyard had sales of $1.3 billion, up 19 percent from 1981 sales of $1.1 billion. Including the December Navy contract of $3.1 billion for two Nimitz-class nuclear-powered air- craft carriers, the shipyard had a year-end backlog of $8.5 billion. The carrier contract is the larg- est contract ever awarded by the Navy. "We are pleased with our 1982 financial performance," said Ed- ward Campbell, company presi- dent and chief executive officer. "Much of the credit goes to our employees, salaried and hourly paid, who have responded to the challenge of working smarter and increasing productivity." The shipyard delivered three Navy ships and launched two submarines in 1982. The Nimitz- class carrier Carl Vinson and the Los Angeles-class nuclear-pow- ered submarines Atlanta and Houston joined the fleet from the Newport News yard. The Los Angeles-class subma- rines Buffalo and Salt Lake City were launched, and the yard March 1, 1983 worked on the Nimitz-class car- rier Theodore Roosevelt and nine nuclear-powered submarines.

BUTTER WORTH® SFC BW separators feature a permanent filter bed (no dirty cartridges to change, no messy disposal). Automatic operation without attendance is available. U.S. Coast Guard approved. Special Filtering Material. One outstanding feature of SFC BW (Separator Filter Coalescer Bilge Water) Oil/Water Separators is the permanent final filter bed. Composed of specially treated oleophilic particles, it can be used over and over again. With heavy use, an annual topping of 5% to 15% is the only filter bed maintenance required. Moreover, treated water discharges are typically less than 2 parts per million of oil... well below the allowable 15 parts per million. Unattended Operation with Automatic Option. Because of the permanent final filter bed, SFC| BW Separators ordered with thei automatic option can operate unattended for weeks at a time. Whenever the filter bed reaches a pre-set degree of oil saturation, a very accurate vacuum-operated controller stops separation, initiates a cleansing back-flush cycle and Automatic valve provides total "hands-off" operation. sounds an alarm. After back-flushing, separation automatically starts again. The 20-minute back-flush cycle occurs only once every 12 to 24 hours of operation, depending upon oil concentration. Unique Compact Design. Because of the permanent filter bed, which requires only limited access annually, SFC BW units are very compact. All processing takes place in a single vertical cylinder requiring a minimum of deck space. A 2 cubic metre per hour unit, for example, is only 2 feet in diameter. Every SFC BW unit is equipped with its own pumps designed to meet a vessel's needs. They do not rely on existing bilge pumps. U.S.C.G. Approved.
