It is approximately 60 percent complete and scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 1995. The Arctic (A0E-8) fast combat support ship was recently launched at NASSCO. The 754-foot supply ship was christened by Mary Johnston, the wife of U.S. Senator J. Bennett Johnston, who was the keynote speaker at the event. Remarks were given by NASSCO President Richard Vortmann and Rear Admiral John S. Claman, deputy com- mander, Naval Sea Systems Command. The USS Arctic is the fifth supply ship to carry the name, the others of that name having served between 1855 and 1946. NASSCO is building three other AOE-class ships whose mission will be to receive ammuni- tion, provisions and petroleum products from shuttle ships and distribute them to carrier battle groups while underway. The USS Supply (AOE-6) is almost complete and scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 1994. USS Rainier (AOE-7) is mostly complete and is expected to be delivered by the third quarter of 1994. NASSCO has also received an order from the U.S. Navy to design and build six Strategic Sealift Ships for a potential $1.3 billion, as well as a $635 million contract to convert three L-Class containerships into Strategic Sealift Ships.
