The naming of the latest addition to the fleet of United States Lines recognizes the nearly 50 years of Ameriacn Legion support for a strong merchant marine. Launched on Feb. 27, 1968, the SS American Legion was sent down the ways, a mighty ship named for the world’s greatest war veterans organization. Mrs. William E. Galbraith, wife of our National Commander, broke the traditional bottle of champagne over the vessel’s bow following the words, "I christenl thee the SS American Legion." During the ceremonies the ship was blesse d by National Chaplain Rev. Edward P. Nolan. The SS American Legion becomes the second ship to bear the proud name of our organization. Her predecessor, the USS American Legion, seiwed with distinction as a troop transport During World War 11. After the launching ceremonies, a distinguished group of L gmnnaires, government officials, and top national industrialists heard National Commander Galbraith deliver a major maritime policy address. Commander Galbraith expressed the fond hope that the launching of the SS American Legion would be but one of many similar events over the next several years which would mark the rebuilding and revitalization of the American merchant marine. He callttd for the restoration of the American flag to a position of prominece upon the seven seas. Once the World’s No. 1 maritime nation. The American Legion is acutely aware of the deflcicencies of the American merchant marine, steps to remedy those deficiencies are long overdue. Action must be taken now, and the Legion is
