Tanker program pace and risks in wartime shipbuilding
Peter Edson analyzes U S tanker construction under the Maritime Commission plan versus private output, noting a target of 673 tankers amid sunk vessels and subs threats. He outlines shipyards at Behalf er Be Be, Kaiser near Portland, Sparrows Point, Alabama Drydocks, and Sun Shipyards and explains standard 500 foot design, cost about 2 million, capable of carrying enough gasoline for 100,000 cars per month. Turbine and gear bottlenecks slow progress, with Westinghouse and GE expanding capacity by 50 million dollars to boost output. He also cites broader wartime production efforts and strategic considerations voiced by authorities.
