Arleigh Burke Praises Shipyards
That Built 41 Polaris Submarines
American shipyards were cited
for their role in creating the
Navy’s Polaris submarine force
by a former Chief of Naval Op-
erations early this month.
Speaking at the commissioning
of Will Rogers, Adm. Arleigh A.
Burke, retired, said: “The Polaris
weapon system is a tribute to en-
thusiastic cooperation from or-
ganizations and individuals ev-
erywhere.
“And this is especially true of
the shipyards of this country.
“It is altogether suitable that
Will Rogers, the 41st and last of
;his series of Polaris submarines,
should have been built by the
Electric Boat division of General
Dynamics and commissioned in
Groton, Conn., where the first
one, George Washington, was
commissioned less than eight
years ago.
“All of these 41 incredibly
complex ships built by many
United States shipyards have
been highly successful. There
have been no failures. These
magnificent ships are a tribute to
the techniques and skills of the
shipyards which constructed
them. There are no other ship-
yards in the world which could
have incorporated in these com-
plicated submarines the unusual
characteristics which these ships
have.
“The shipbuilding industry of
this country can take great and
justifiable pride in their unique
and enormous contribution to the
most effective weapon system in
the world.
“It would be wise to weigh this
actual performance of American
shipyards against the criticism
heaped on United States ship-
building capability recently.”

“If you want work well done, select a busy man. The other
kind has no time.”

know what happiness is.”

“Do not dump your woes upon people—keep the sad story
of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.”

“God will not look you over for medals, degrees or di-
plomas, but for scars!”
