cea: sa se si: NYS "YARD” WHEN WORKING AT FULL CAPACITY dae NYS “YARD” covers 190 acres of ground, with a frontage of 4270 feet on the Delaware River. There are 5614 acres under roof, including the area of separate floors under the same roof. As an idea of the size of the structures, shown on the Air-View, Way “O” is 826 feet long from the Machine Shop to the end of the roof. Almost all types of Merchant and Naval ships have been designed and produced by NYS; from harbor tugs and ferry boats to battle ships, and such palatial liners as the “WASHINGTON” and “MANHATTAN.” Fast cruisers and destroyers have established high standards of speed, fuel efficiency and reliability, pro- pelled by NYS-built turbines. A ship at sea is a floating city. All the utilities necessary—power, heat, lights, refrigeration, telephone, radio, laundry, commissary, etc.,— are self-served, out in the middle of the ocean, away from any base of supplies. A Naval vessel, in addi- tion, embodies all the equipment and appliances that progress has made available for the defense of the Nation. Hence, a wide variety of crafts is required in shipbuilding, involving the employment of all the manufac- turing arts in the yard, drawing room and office, and in the plants of widely scattered, large and small, associated manufacturers. NYS “YARD” was one of the very first built solely for the design and production of metal ships, with- out any adaptation from facilities for building wooden vessels.
