Sponsor Mrs. Joyce Watson, wife of Mr. David Watson, marine manager for Esso Petroleum Canada, of Toronto, had the honor of christen- ing the vessel, which will be stationed in Halifax Harbor. The 5,300-hp, twin screw harbor tug is 108.6 feet long and was built in four units using a modular construc- tion method. The vessel will have two separate propulsion trains each con- sisting of a 2,650-hp main engine, marine control drive unit, shafting Z- Drive and a propeller. The Z-Drive unit is a combined propulsion and steering unit, which eliminates the need for a rudder. The propeller can be rotated 360 degrees to provide steer- ing and maximum maneuverability with full thrust in any direction. Appleton Supplies Deck Machinery For New Coast Guard ATON Barges An Appleton Marine buoy-cranefitted on the Coast Guard'ssecond ATON notched-barge, WTGB103, which is integrated with the icebreakerMobileBay. Appleton Marine, of Appleton, Wis., has supplied all the deck machinery for two notch-style, aides-to-naviga- tion (ATON) barges built for the U.S. Coast Guard last year by Marinette Marine Corporation, in Marinette, Wis. Appleton Marine also supplied the buoy handling crane, anchor winch, dual traction winches for hold- ing the barge to Coast Guard ice- breakers, and four gypsy winches also used for buoy handling. The agency's icebreakers, which usually operate in the Great Lakes region, were primarily charged with winter icebreaking duties, followed by search-and-rescue and law enforce- ment. However, now that the ice- breakers can be integrated with the 120-foot, notched ATON barges fitted with Appleton Marine's crane and deck machinery, the cutters now have an expanded mission.
