<BODY> <div> Gladding-Hearn Delivers Detroit Diesel-Powered Research Vessel To U.S. Navy The 60-foot research vessel built by Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Somerset, Mass., for use by U.S. Navy's David Taylor research facility in Bayview, Idaho. Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, The Duclos Corp., Somerset, Mass., recently delivered a new 60-foot- long research vessel built for the U.S. Navy's research center in Bethesda, Md. The company was awarded the contract in April. According to George Duclos, president of the shipyard, the vessel was completed within the contracted 90 days before being trucked 3,200 miles to Bayview, Idaho, where the David Taylor Research Center Acoustical Research Detachment will conduct tests for the Navy on Lake Pend Oreille. Mr. Duclos said the yard's last Navy contract was for a tugboat in 1972. The unpainted all-aluminum ves- sel, designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates of Boston, carries a 19- foot beam, 6-foot draft, and the fuel tanks holds 600 gallons. It is pow- ered by twin Detroit Diesel 12V- 92TAs rated at 900 shp each turning at 2,300 rpm. The engines turn a pair of Columbian 36- by 34-inch, four-bladed propellers through 2:1 Twin Disc reverse/reduction gears. Generators are Cummins Onan 20 kwand45kw. The vessel is equipped with an Industrial Power Systems generator control panel and Teleflex Seastar Hydraulic steering system. The research boat, which is de- signed to tow more than 3,000 pounds at 15 knots, delivers a top speed of 30 knots (fully loaded) with a range of 1,200 nautical miles. The hull's four watertight com- partments house the forepeak, fore- castle, which includes an enclosed head, wheelhouse amidships, engine room and auxiliary machinery space, and laboratory aft.
