Outstanding Oceangoing Ships Of 1985 PAGE 22 Shipboard Computer Survey PAGE 58 U.S. Navy Ship Procurement —Second Update— PAGE 70 United States Cruises Applies To MarAd For $150-Million Title XI The Maritime Administration has received an application from United States Cruises, Inc., a subsidiary of Pacific Building Corporation of Seattle, for a Title XI mortgage guarantee to aid in refinancing the reconstruction of the passenger ship United States. Built by Newport News Ship- building for United States Lines in 1952, the luxury liner operated in trans-Atlantic service until she was laid up in Norfolk in 1969, and sub- sequently sold to the U.S. Govern- ment. United States Cruises pur- chased the vessel from MarAd in 1978 for $5 million. The Seattle firm has announced plans to operate the 990-foot vessel in the U.S. West Coast-Hawaii cruise trade. The company proposes to have major structural repairs per- formed, staterooms and public areas refurbished, and shops and recrea- tion facilities installed at Alabama Dry Dock and Shipbuilding Compa- ny in Mobile. If approved, the Title XI guarantee would cover approxi- mately $150 million, or 75 percent of the estimated cost of $200 million. The ADDSCO contract would in- volve adding two new decks, remov- ing some existing bulkheads, adding 800 new staterooms and 300 cabins for crew members, and upgrading the ship's machinery. If MarAd ap- proves the financing, work could be- gin as early as January 1, 1986.
