Sensing that shipbuilding was on the wane, the old sailor cut back Bethlehem's stake in ships, and late last year initiated a threeyear, $750 million improvement program concentrating in other areas. Rising behind the Indiana dunes near Chicago is a $275 million finishing plant that will give Bethlehem, which has long been the strongest supplier in the East, a major hold in the Midwest...
