The reduction of shipbuilding schedules and costs is a vital neces- sity recognized by all in the mari- time industry. New design and pro- duction concepts play a major role in the achievement of this goal. The National Shipbuilding Research Program 1986 Ship Production Symposium includes technical pre- sentations that cover a diversity of topics. This three-day program, de- veloped by the 1986 Ship Produc- tion Symposium Steering Commit- tee headed by W. R. (Pat) Phil- lips Jr., provides a forum for the presentation of the latest develop- ments in design and production con- cepts, which will affect schedules and costs dramatically over the next decade. The Technical Program Commit- tee, chaired by R. L. Harrington, has selected 23 stimulating and thought-provoking papers by au- thors both nationally and interna- tionally that cover the range of sub- jects being addressed by the Ship Production working groups. The program outline with authors and papers are listed in the Technical Program for the 1986 Ship Produc- tion Symposium that follows. The program has been arranged to take advantage not only of state- of-the-art technical subjects but also the Virginia Peninsula and its wealth of history. Special activities and social events planned include a keynote luncheon address by Vice Adm. J. H. Webber; the presenta- tion of the Kennedy Award by Per- ry W. Nelson, president of the Society; a bus tour of the construc- tion facilities at Newport News Shipbuilding, followed by a recep- tion on Wednesday. On Thursday, there will be a tour of Carter's Grove Plantation, and high tea at the Wil- liamsburg Lodge. The world-famous Groaning Board Banquet, complete with Colonial entertainment, is scheduled for the afternoon and evening respectively; and on Friday a presentation on the reconstructed Godspeed is planned, with a tour of the ship on Friday afternoon. 1986 SHIP PRODUCTION SYMPOSIUM TECHNICAL PROGRAM Sessions: Wednesday, August 27, 1986 8:30 am—"The Annual Report of the National Shipbuilding Research Program," J.
