The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Sympsoium. Paper No. 6: The Implementation of Production Engineering Techniques at Norfolk Shipbuilding and Drydock Corporation

Abstract

Norfolk Shipbuilding and Drydock Corporation was about to start production of a floating dock to their own account. Design drawings were obtained from a naval architectural consultant. Norshipco was aware that the information on the design drawings had to be transferred to working drawings and, where possible, the producibility of the structure improved. The paper describes how this task was carried out, the drawing formats used, and the structural and outfit changes made.
