Forrestal. The. mighty man of war, 1.038 feet long and displacing 59.650 tons will be eased gently into Hampton Roads, Va.,' with pomp befitting a new capital -ship specially designed for the jet-atomic age.

The gigantic flattop will be spon sored by Mrs. James V. Forrestal, widow of the first defense secretary whose name it bears. Controversial Ship j One of the most controversial ships in naval history, the For restal is being built for $20,141,000 less than the $218,000,000 forecast when the keel was laid on July 14, 1952, the Navy said today. It is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 1955 and commission ed in the flet with a complement of 3,826 men and about 90 planes jet atomic bombers 'and intercept ors. Afloat,! with its modern, high speed planes able to reach targets 1.000 miles .from its deck, the ves sel will represent an investment of about $372,000,000.
