DECLINE HERE? DON'T BELIEVE IT! headlined the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Page One last week.

The Government hopes that lessons learned in building the Savannah will make the power plant of the atomic tanker lighter and cheaper than that of the merchantman. While the 22,500-ton tanker will not be economically competitive with a conventional ship, experts reckon that a nuclear tanker...
