General Dynamics is scheduled to deliver three SEEBEES to Lykes in late 1971 at a total cost (including 266 special barges) of $111 million. The third barge ship, the Stradler, designed by New York Engineer Frank Broes, will be a catamaran that will cradle ten barges between its twin hulls. The motorized barges, each holding 12,000 tons of cargo, will sail in under their...
