New High in Ship Production
LIBERTY SHIPS BEIN3 FiTTBO OUT AT A YAR» PREPARATORY TO BEA SERVICE- THE YARD IS PROOUCINC A CONTINUOUS STREAM OF VCMELS OF THIS TYPE.
Bethlehem jhip production this year will represent the greatest
all-round shipbuilding output by any company in the history of the
country.
Speed, speed and more speed is the constant objective; and
always speed with quality, for a jerry-built ship is virtually
useless in the grim tasks of maritime war.
The first Liberty ship which recently dir/jharged supplies at
a Red Sea port was built in a yard that was virtually non
existent a year ago. A tanker was delivered in 100 days from
laying of keel. A battleship will be delivered 14 months ahead
of schedule.
Cargo ships are being built in less than one-half the time

required in the first World War. Comparable speeding up has
been achieved on other types of ships and the schedule is being
constantly stepped-up.
Expanding old yards, building new ones, tripling employ
ment in a year’s time, training thousands of new men, putting
every effective facility to use, adopting pre-assembly and mass
production methods—all these spell tonnage and more tonnage,
a steadily-mounting output of ships from Bethlehem yards.
All hands are doing their utmost for X ictory, working to
achieve the maximum for the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Mari
time Commission, so that the “bridge of ships” shall be main
tained and steadily enlarged.
