Newscopy: "Speed Launchings to One Every Two Days - Los Angeles, Calif.: A 25-ton steel bulkhead is being lowered amidship by two huge Gantry cranes as workmen bend to their labors on a new hull already taking form just 24-hours after a previous ship had slid down the ways. Almost as the ship hit the water the builders were laying the keel for its successor."
