This program was the greatest in magnitude and diversity ever accomplished hy a private builder in the world’s history. It marked the fulfillment of a promise made by Bethlehem a-year ago to build in 1943 an average of "a ship a day” of major fighting and cargo crafty • . , -v * 38 TYPES OF SHIPS * Program 70%, lighting Craft; 30% Cargo Bethlehem’s total wartime shipbuilding pro* gram includes approximately 1,000 fighting! and cargo ships, 70% of the program being in fighting craft, and 30% in cargo.

Carolina Service Station CLINTON, S. C. S The list of ships includes aircraft carrieri, cruisers, destroyers, virtually every type of fighting craft, as well as a large number of Liberty ships and other* cargo vessels. In addition, Bethlehem ship repair yards converted, repaired, and serviced over 7.000 vessels, a vital contribution toward Tceeping the Allied fleets in fighting trim. | ■ m ' ~ * M • - -** Measuring the program by Liberty ships, a battleship is equal to forty Liberty ships; and the value of the year’s work in B^hlebem’s shipbuilding division was the eauivalent of over 1,000 Liberty ships. V * . ; Part of National Program — Bethlehem is permitted to publish these facts as part of our country’s total program. Led by the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Maritime Commission, America’s shipbuilding in 1943 has been a national triumph of production. - * ^ We salute our fellow shipbuilders and their distinguished records. We thank *our thousands of suppliers whose efforts have been essential to our contribution. We congratulate the men and women in the Bethlehem organization, in shipyards, steel plants, factories, mines, and in every division, all of whom have had a part in this effort. t Harder Task Ahead — The year’s work in Bethlehem’s shipyards, steel mills and other departments, has been done by 300,000 men and women. More will be needed. Already a larger shipbuilding task has been assigned to us for 1944. We shall undertake that job with the knowledge that it must be done, •t maximum pace, to hasten ♦hr day of Victory. • ■ /. 2,100-Ton Destroyers 1,620-Ton Destroyers Destroyer Escorts , Tank-Landing Craft Infantry-Landing Craft 14,700-Ton Aircraft Carriers 27,000-Ton Aircraft Carriers CARGO SHIPS Liberty Ships Other type Cargo Ships' Victory Ships C-lB Cargo Ships Single-Screw Tankers Twin-Screw Tankers Ore Transfer Ships, 03 Cargo Combat Shi)>s Tfawlers c , Passenger-^nd-Cargo Ships Fleet Tugs • 25,000-Ton Ore-and-Oil Carriers C-3E_Cargo Ships 1 Combat Shi)>s
