A shipyard worker in a hard hat proudly displayed the Army-Navy "E" pennant for inspection. The "E" pennant was the highest award conferred on an industrial plant. It was awarded to the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp. during a special December 7, 1943 ceremony. The flag was given in recognition of excellent production, far exceeding the expectations of the government. The Tacoma yard had cut more than a million man hours in the production of its escort carriers. (Sea-Tac Keel, Vol. II, No. XII, pg. 3; December 24, 1943 issue)
