	HyperWar: U.S. Government Manual--1945 [United States Maritime Commission]
		Construction-Differential Subsidy.--To aid a citizen of the united States in the construction of a new vessel to be used on a service, route, or line in the foreign commerce of the United States determined to be essential, the Commission is empowered to have the vessel constructed in a shipyard in the United States.
		The difference between the cost of constructing the vessel in the United States and the estimated cost of constructing the vessel in a foreign shipyard is termed a construction-differential subsidy, but in no case may such subsidy exceed 50 percent of the cost of the vessel.
		Aid may be extended to any citizen of the United States in the construction of a new vessel to be operated in the foreign or domestic trade (excepting vessels engaged solely in the transportation of property on inland rivers and canals exclusively) in cases where no construction-differential subsidy is to be allowed.

	1938: Shipbuilding And Shipping - Archive Article - MSN Encarta
		In the United States the year 1938 was marked by the placing of the first contract in 15 years for the building of an American cargo vessel for the American transoceanic trade.
		This move in the effort to recapture shipping business for the United States was calculated also to give the shipyards work in a workless period and to keep a technically trained personnel in practice, ready to serve any national emergency.
		Provision is made for the creation of a Maritime Labor Board to submit to the President and the Congress, on or before March 1, 1940, a comprehensive plan for the establishment of a permanent Federal policy for the stabilization of maritime labor relations.

	SS United States Conservancy: History
		By comparison, her aluminum superstructure reduced the SS United States' deadweight to a significantly lower 45,400 long tons, which combined with a maximum 247,785 horsepower rating (approximately 60,000 shaft horsepower greater than either of the Queens) gave the vessel a tremendous horsepower to weight ratio compared to its rivals.
		In June 2004, NCL reflagged the Pride of Aloha cruise ship as an American vessel and has stated that the SS United States, due to the extensive nature of the refit required, would be the last vessel to be rehabilitated into their cruise itinerary by 2010.
		The ship remains the largest passenger vessel constructed in the United States and the fastest ocean liner to ever cross the North Atlantic (both eastbound and westbound).

		The liner, tentatively named the United States, is to be commissioned in August, 1952, according to the contract, but the yard hopes to get her ready by April of that year, in time for the travel season.
		This ship is to be a prestige liner for the United States, the first it has had and the first in decades that will compete in the Atlantic with the British Queens for speed laurels.
		Shipping men generally, including those not connected with current projects, feel that with the new ships now under construction the United States is at last making progress on a segment of its economy too long neglected in peacetime.

		Cognizant of the impact the message was bound to have on the United States, the British were nevertheless slow to release it; they had to devise a method to assure the Americans of its authenticity while concealing from the Germans that they had broken the German diplomatic code.
		Despite the seriousness of the crises on land, the most portentous of all as the United States entered the war was the crisis at sea.
		The Shipping Board that had been created close on adoption of the National Defense Act of 1916 had had more time for preparation, but shipping nevertheless remained a critical item and ports often were glutted with supplies.

	Edward N. Hurley. The Bridge to France. 1927. Contents
		Germany was well aware of our lack of ships; and in view of these enormous Allied losses, figured that it would be impossible for us to provide the cargo-ships needed to feed and maintain overseas an army large enough to prevent the execution of her plans to crush her enemies.
		Hence, their urgent appeal to us for "ships, ships and more ships!" if the war were to be won, was warranted by the acute necessity.
		It was under these trying conditions that the United States Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet Corporation assumed the task of acquiring, building and operating sufficient cargo-ships to maintain an army in France.
