	Swan
		A male swan is a cob; a female is a pen, and the young are called cygnets.
		Swans are powerful birds, they bite, and their beating wings can break a man’s arm.
		Among Druids, the Swan represents the soul, and is associated with the Festival of Samhain.

	Facilities
		Swan Hunter has a proud tradition of shipbuilding on the Tyne and the facilities have recently been enhanced to continue this tradition using modern methods of undercover ring construction for more efficient production of naval ships and commercial vessels.
		The skills required to produce high quality vessels have also been maintained and improved over the years, in a region where the local culture is still one of the few to embrace this industry.
		In December 2000 the contract was signed with the Ministry of Defence for the design and build of two Landing Ship Dock (Auxiliary) vessels for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and for the supply of Lead Yard Services for a further two vessels to be built to Swan Hunter’s design by another yard.

	Swan Hunter Information
		Swan Hunter, formerly known as "Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson", is one of the best known shipbuilding companies in the United Kingdom.

		The shipyard survived until 1993, then trading as "Swan Hunter", when it was forced to call in the receivers after the UK government awarded the contract for HMS Ocean to Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Ltd in Barrow in Furness for a cut down price, which later turned out to be artificial.

	Navy Matters \| LSD(A)
		Swan Hunter was to be the lead yard and construction and final assembly would be undertaken at Wallsend (Govan for the BAE Marine ships), but Royal Schelde would provide design and naval architecture services.
		Due to capacity limitations, Swan Hunters subcontracted some steel fabrication work (the bow section) to the Dutch yard Schelde Shipbuilding, this was much to BAE's annoyance - they claimed that they could have done the work just as cheaply at their Govan yard and that this would have reduced recent redundancies.
		The cost of the two Swan Hunter ships was believed to have risen from an original £210 million to £309 million incurred so far, and the cost of the BAE ships had risen from £122 million to £187 million - largely because of problems associated with Swan Hunter.
