Destroyer Shubrick Launched
After 60-Day Building Record
B> ih« Astociaten Fr**>»
PORTSMOUTH V* . April 18 —
The destroyer Shubrirk. built in the
record time of 60 days, was launched
at the Norfolk Navy Yard today
The Navy Yards public relations
office said this was the fastest con
struction job on record for a ship
of the Shubrick’s sire and design.
The Shubricks sister ship, the
Herndon, which was launched here
February 5, was under construction
163 days before launching
Yard officials attributed the speedy
construction of the Shubrick to the
fact that more men were employed
and that some construction prob
lems were ironed out through ex
perience with the Herndon
The new destroyer was named for
Rear Admiral William Brandford
Shubrick. commandant of the Nor
folk Navy Yard about 100 years ago.
His great-great-granddaughter. Mrs,

"In many others, however, there
is no apparent disposition to depart
trom the peacetime policy of strict
enforcement or to remove existing
hampering regulations in time of

would require legislative action and
most legislatures do not meet again

of training and supplying man

and says further that "a special
announcement will soon be made
with respect to the voluntary reg
istration of women throughout the
United States for their mobilization
