- New York City - Following acting Secretary of the Navy Lewis Compton's order for eight government navy yards to go on a two-shift schedule, the Brooklyn Navy Yard is swinging into high gear as construction goes forward on two battleships - the 35,000-ton North Carolina and the 45,000-ton Iowa. Here are metal workers busy in the sheet metal shop at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
