Mr. Sh.va. 1 think once the equipment is installed that within a 

 complete trip that a vessel should know where it is with it. 



Von might have t<>. when he comes in, make sonic changes, make 

 some corrections and. hopefully, on his second time out, if there are 

 corrections that have to he made, thai they will be resolved then, and 



then there will not he too many problems with that vessel. 



'The experience with some of the 20 boats that went out. there 

 have been ;> couple that weren't as successful as others: as a matter 

 of fact, not too good at all. 



The Proud Heritage^ for instance, that is one of the vessels I own. 

 and it was one of the experimental boats, the captain took the vessel 

 out. made five sets, and made the adjustment by coincidence or luck' 

 Or good seamanship, and they worked out just perfect for him. 



Mr. Mannina. Just after lunch, someone suggested to me that the 

 Defense Department's list of vessels which would be called up in a 

 national emergency situation included numerous vessels in the tuna 

 Seet. 



Are you able to confirm that ? 



Mr. Felaxdo. All I know is World War TT, and. of course, the 

 whole fleet in San Diego was converted into the color gray within 

 weeks. 



T do not have any direct information. 



We do provide a lot of information to the Defense Department 

 now. 



We have now, however, to my knowledge, had any connection with 

 any request of the nature thai" you brought up. 



I have not had any conversations like that. 



Mr. Mannina. Thank you. 



Mr. Leggett. Thank you, Mr. Mannina. 



Mr. Spensley? 



Gentlemen, I think those are all the questions we have at this 

 point. 



Thank you very much. 



Mr. Felaxdo. Thank you very much. 



T am sorry that not all of you saw the movie. The movie describes 

 the tuna and porpoise within the net and going outside the net and 

 maybe at some time we will be able to show some of the other film 

 that Mr. Thompson photographed on the Elizabeth, C. J. during 

 that cruise. 



Thank you again. 



Mr. Leggett. Mr. Milton Kaufmann, president of Monitor. Inc.,
