] . i vit es the Naval Shipbuilding Yards in iume CgtLt r Naval, de3 Caro)
On 28 November 194.6 the directors of the Naval Shipyards in Fiume met and
the following program was decided:
(a) The urgent completion of a 600 ton destroyer which was
started under the Italian administration, The hull is
completed, and the engines already Acquired in Italy.
(b) The completion of a 6,000 ton turbo-driven freighter.
The hull is completed but the superstructure is lacking.
Instructions were given to negotiate for the acquisition
of all the relative drawings and designs of the engines
ordered from the sub-constractors of the Cantieri Navalia
Fabbrica Macchire di San Andrea, Trieste,-with a view to
placing an order for their construction in Czechoslovakia.
Construction of two similar vessels is also under considera-
tion?
(c) The continuation of construction of three 1,,000 H.P. tugs
whose hulls have only been partially completed. It has
not been decided what type of engines are to be installed.
Since no suitable cranes are available to install the 30
ton boilers in the vessels consideration is being given
to dismantle them and reassemble the boilers in the hulls?
The refitting of the 1,100 HP. tug NEPTUNE for ocean and
salvage operations which would involve the substitution
of six mm. hull plates for ten mm. lie tug is to be e-
quipped with two steam pumps., one diesel pump., and an elec-
trio generator unit.
(d) The refitting of the 9,200 ton SS BIHAC,, an ex-Italian
freighter. Refitting is to take three months.
(e) The salvage of the 1 /9 LOCCHI (sunk in an air raid in March
1944) and the tug ARPIONE off the Genova I.blo is being con-
sidered.
