Another Innovation is theuse of dummy motors in Iheengine space so that all fl.li!llines, electrical cablrs. etccan be fiKed in place andtheir final fillings attacbed.so Ihat when the real en·gines and olher machineryare pul In place, sU threnginrers havr to do isconllrct them up to threxisting fiUillp.

Not only does U1is murthe engineers' work easier,it also overcomes the p0s­sibility of damagr 10expensive machinery whichwould olherwise have to belifte<l in and out of positionseveral times.

Although only 42ft longerthan the current Attack·Class patrol boats, thr newFremantle·class will havenearly twice thr dis·placement.

"The fine entry on thebow and its pronouncedflair, not to mrntion Ihe sta·bilisers, will make them amuch dryrr boat Ind 'Onewhich will hlndle hUvyweather much beUer," AirValentine said.

Thur the seclioll isturned Ihe right way up andthr rrmainillg part of thehun. from No ~ deck to No Ideck, is built up.

Once Ihe hull Is complete,the bost·s superstructure,aU aluminium and weighingonly 7 toMeS, is taken fromthe work!',op whrrr it hasbeen put together in onepiece, and lifted on to thehull and welded into place.

According to NQEA's act­ing production manager, MrDoug Valentine, the com·pany has perfected anum·ber of new trchniques tocopr with the CGRStructionof the boats.

One is the cold wrldlngtechniqur used in the con·struction of boUl thr steelhull and the aluminiumsuperstructurr. whichminimises the amount ofbuckling in boUl decks andi>ulI<I>N<b.

At present the firsl. threeboats, WARRNAWBOOL(%04), TOWNSVILLE (~)

Each boat is resling onbogies which move alongspecially laid railway linesin and out of the shed anddown to the river.
