The 92nd Annual Meeting of The Society of Naval Architects and Ma- rine Engineers that took place at the New York Hilton Hotel November 7-10 drew a larger than usual turn- out for the technical sessions, the Annual Banquet, and for the again- expanded Third International Mar- itime Exposition. At the show, 186 exhibitors, an increase from 139 last year, some from as far away as Japan and Korea, occupied about 26,000 square feet of space—virtual- ly the entire second floor of the Hil- ton. Since its addition to the SNAME annual only two years ago, this third exposition has firmly es- tablished itself as the premier ma- rine industry trade show. Its con- tinuing growth promises greater success in the years to come. Presiding at the President's Lun- cheon on November 8 and the An- nual Banquet on November 9 was SNAME president C. Larry French, chairman and CEO of Na- tional Steel and Shipbuilding Com- pany in San Diego. He served a two- year term as president until the end of 1984.
