Abstract

1,218,272. Constructing ships. LITTON INDUSTRIES Inc. 12 July, 1968 [13 July, 1967], No. 33447/68. Headings B7A and B7S. A large ship is constructed of a series of sections 16, 16<SP>1</SP> each of which is assembled from prefabricated parts, the assembled section being rotated 90 degrees about a port-starboard axis from its position during assembly to be aligned with and joined to the previously completed parts 31, 16<SP>1</SP> of the ship. Each section may be assembled in a dry or floating dock 30 where it is joined to the parts 31, 16<SP>1</SP>, by the parts 31; 16<SP>1</SP> being floated to locate with the assembled part 16, the dock is then emptied of water to enable the parts to be welded together. The ship (as far as it is built) is then floated forward by the length of a section 16 so that the next section can be assembled. The floating dock 30 may comprise buoyancy tanks 62, a floor 66, to which are pivoted end gates 80 and end seals 32, 78 which seat against the ship's hull. The dock may have an hydraulically powered manipulator comprising a deck 72 on which the section 16 is assembled, the fore-aft axes of the parts 18, 20, 24 being vertical, and another part 70 hinged at 71 to the deck 72, which is brought against the bottom of the section which is then constantly supported as the section is turned by the manipulator about the axis 71. The ship thus constructed may be an ore carrying ship or a tanker, Figs. 10-11 (not shown), or a container-type freighter, Figs. 12-13 (not shown).
