Among the principals attending the ceremony were Vice Adm. Jo- seph Stover Donnell III, Com- mander of the Naval Surface Force, Atlantic Fleet, and Vice Adm. Leon A. Edney, Chief of Naval Opera- tions. The homeport, located in the Sta- pleton section of Staten Island, will be home to a battle group of about half a dozen ships led by the battle- ship USS Iowa (BB-61). The first ships to dock at the homeport were the Aegis cruiser USS Ticonderoga (CG-47) and the destroyer USS Hayler (DD-997). The ships were in the harbor as part of the festivities for the Navy's Fleet Week. Far East Levingston Gets $100-Million Rig Order The second oil drilling rig order from Santa Fe International Corp. has been received by Far East Le- vingston Shipbuilding Ltd.(FELS), a unit of Singapore's Keppel Group. The $100-Million order is for a Universe-class jackup rig to be com- pleted in 1991. It will be built to designs by Friede & Goldman of New Orleans and is destined for North Sea Drilling. A $120-million order for a canti- lever rig with helipad is nearing completion for Santa Fe by FELS. Described as more sophisticated than the previous platform, the new platform, dubbed the Galaxy, is ca- pable of working deeper waters. The North Sea is one of the world's most difficult oil-drilling areas.
