Conrad is so confident of Intrepid's navigational gear that he plans to fly a "heads up" approach.

General Dynamics is scheduled to deliver three SEEBEES to Lykes in late 1971 at a total cost (including 266 special barges) of $111 million. The third barge ship, the Stradler, designed by New York Engineer Frank Broes, will be a catamaran that will cradle...
