Ships Plan Boosts L B L A Yards Outlook
Morse spoke in the late afternoon papers asserting a boost to the Southern California shipbuilding industry. He noted Harbor Boat Building and said shipyard work could begin in local yards amid a government push to help win contracts for civilian construction and a nuclear powered merchant fleet. Union officials welcomed the forecast, while predicting the impact would favor larger yards like Todd and Bethlehem Steel over smaller wood yards. The Savannah nuclear ship remains under construction as a testbed and launch planned for 1959.
