| Description: | News in Brief: Virginia, Atomic Flat-top. At Newport News, construction proceeds on the mammoth U.S.S. Enterprise, the Navy's first atomic-powered flat-top ship, which will be powered by 8 reactors. Bigger even than the Forrestal-class super-carriers. VS of this huge construction project -- wow is it big. Welders work with helmet-things to shield their eyes. | |
