Giordano as "a 50- foot crewboat that has the look, feel, ride, and performance of a much larger boat." The new boat's design is a joint effort by Cameron Thompson, Aluminum Boats' design consul- tant, and Mr. Giordano. Some of the innovative design and Joe Lynn II's "bigness" is apparent inside because of its space and unusual amenities. Twelve passenger seats were sacrificed to provide additional room and comfort for 18 passengers and a crew of two. While most crewboats in this category have a depth of about five feet, the Joe Lynn II has a depth of 6 feet 10 inches, providing a smoother, more comfortable ride. Propulsion is provided by twin Caterpillar 3408TA diesel engines developing a total of more than 850 bhp at 1,800 rpm, driving through JOE LYNN II Major Suppliers Main engines (2) Caterpillar Reduction gears (2) Twin Disc Propeller shafts Aquamet Bearings Cutless Steering Wagner Engine controls Morse Anchor Danforth Genset Westerbek Aircon/heating Duratherm Hot water heater Sears Sanitation system Mansfield Radars (2) Furuno SSB radio Stephens VHF radio Horizon Loran C Sitex/Kode Depth sounder Sitex Loudhailer Regency (Electronics supplied by Frank L.

New items include 20 dB bidirectional crossguide couplers and high, me- dium and low-power terminations in small X and large X bands; and a repair or replacement service for SX band rotary joints. These are included in an updated catalog that also contains such components as formed and cast waveguide bends, straight sections and twists; flexible waveguide; flanges; deck and bulkhead thru-fittings; waveguide to coax adapters and 20 dB directional couplers—all in both SX and LX bands.

The vessel is en route to Todd-Pacific's San Pedro yard for a $33-million reconstruction that will lengthen it to 760 feet and triple its cargo capacity. Mat- sonia will be converted to a combination lift-on/lift-off con- tainer carrier and RO/RO-trailership, and return to West Coast/Hawaii service next spring. She was towed into bay stern first and turned around to be towed bow first for the three-day trip to San Pedro. The Flow Control Division of Rockwell Inter- national has published a new technical article, "Rockwell McCannalok® Bidirectional Fire- Seal® Butterfly Valves Development and Quali- fication." The 12-page technical article describes the development and test program of Rockwell's new bidirectional Fire-Seal butterfly valves. According to the publication, these new fire- tested valves provide important new perform- ance benefits (particularly for users in refiner- ies, petrochemical plants and oil patch regions) where fire is a serious hazard. Size 3 through 16 valves have been successful- ly tested to the requirements of major U.S. and British fire test standards, predicting good bidi- rectional sealing performance before, during and after exposure to severe fires. The Flow Control Division of Rockwell Inter- national is a leading supplier of high-technology industrial valve and actuator products for worldwide electric power, oil and gas, chemical process and general industrial markets.
