Scope and content
Destroyer deckhouse. Pictured in early 1970 are three all-aluminum deckhouse sections from Tacoma Boatbuilding for a new-class Navy destroyer being built in Seattle by Lockheed Ship Building and Construction Co. The sections were delivered to Lockheed via barge in early March of 1970. Tacoma Boatbuilding was awarded a subcontract to build deckhouses for four destroyers. The above aluminum sections were the first to be completed with the two remaining sections scheduled for completion in May. The five sections will weigh a total of 300,000 pounds. The total contract is expected to be completed in February of 1971. (TNT 3-8-70, D-12)
