It's sometimes tough to
say if a company is on the
east coast or west coast
today. Foss is traditionally
a Pacific Northwest
company. But the
acquisition of
Constellation Tug
expanded its operations to
the east coast. Crowley
has its corporate
headquarters in Florida,
but has major offices in
California, Washington
State and Alaska.

The boundaries of
operation become even
more complex with so
many U.S. companies
handling international
operations.  
Foss Maritime Company
Crowley Maritime Corporation

How thick is the shell plating in your
pilothouse... 3/16" thick? Maybe 1/4"
thick? Naturally, it depends on the
service your boat was built for. The
picture above shows the 17" thick
armor on the conning tower of the
U.S.S. New Jersey. Battleships were
typically given armor on their vital areas
that could defeat or deflect incoming
fire equal to their own main batteries.
The New Jersey was outfitted with 16"
guns. If you can imagine the kinetic
energy of a 16" armor piercing round
that weighs as much as a sub-compact
screaming through the air at over 2,000
feet per second, the armor scheme is
plausible, even if incredible to behold.

into the engineering aspects of the
U.S.S. Massachusetts, New Jersey's
smaller and slower predecessor.
