Sun Ship task force formed to press for meetings with leaders
A six committee Sun Ship task force, created by Mayor Battle after 3100 layoffs at Sun Ship Inc., aims to arrange meetings with President Reagan, Gov Thornburgh, and U S senators to seek more naval repair work and possible use of abandoned shipyard facilities. The body will press for reversed ship construction, expanded repair work, and regional economic programs.
