Humm........Is there some bad data here? I just got up from watching
the "History Channel" where they had a show on the Liberty ships. They
showed the Todd Shipyards building/converting liberty ships into escort
carriers during 1942! They repeatedly referred to it as "the Todd Shipyards" .
Who is right here?
