Denver, Colorado. This workman has gone "all out" to speed up the Navy's unique shipbuilding program here in this mile-high city--the world's largest city not on a navigable waterway. Even though he has never seen an ocean or a ship larger than the pleasure launch on Denver's city park lake, the steel worker behind this acetylene torch is no less a shipbuilder! He is one of the workers in the eight Denver fabricating firms turning out hull parts in a 56 million dollar which means more escort vessels for Uncle Sam's Navy--vessels made in Denver and assembled at Mare Island Navy Yard 1,300 miles away
