Do it today’ * 38 TYPES OF SHIPS * Program 70% Fighting Craft; 30% Cargo Bethlehem's total wartime shipbuilding pro gram includes approximately 1,000 fighting and cargo ships, 70% of the program being in fighting craft, and 30% in cargo. These are of 38 different types including the following: "A ship a day ,” with a number to spare, was the record production delivered by Bethlehem in 1943 to the United States Navy, the British Navy and the U. S. Maritime Commission. This program was the greatest in magnitude and diversity ever accomplished by a private builder in the world’s history. It marked the fulfillment of a promise made by Bethlehem a year ago to build in 1943 an average of "a ship a day” of major fighting and cargo craft. The list of ships includes aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, virtually every type of fighting craft, as well as a large number of Liberty ships and other cargo vessels. In addition, Bethlehem ship repair yards converted, repaired, and serviced over 7,000 vessels, a vital contribution toward keeping the Allied fleets in fighting trim. Measuring the program by Liberty ships, a battleship is equal to forty Liberty ships; and the value of the year's work in Bethlehem's shipbuilding division was the equivalent of over 1,000 Liberty ships.

Led by the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Maritime Commission, America’s shipbuilding in 1943 has been a national triumph of production. We salute our fellow shipbuilders and their distinguished records. We thank our thousands of suppliers whose efforts have been essential to our contribution. We congratulate the men and women in the Bethlehem organization, in shipyards, steel plants, factories, mines, and in every division, all of whom have had a part in this effort. Narder Task Ahead— The years work in Bethlehem * shipyards, steel mills and other departments has been done by 300,000 men and women. More will be needed. Already a larger shipbuilding task has been assigned to us for 1944. We shall undertake that job with the knowledge that it must be done, at maximum pace, to hasten the day of Victory.
