The versatile Sperry equipment on the S. S. UNITED STATES is specially adapted to the requirements of a vessel of her unusual size, speed and performance potential. Tall as a 12-story skyscraper, nearly as long as 5 city blocks, capable of attaining a speed in excess of 30 knots and having accommodations for 2000 passengers and crew complement of 1000, this new United States Lines' Flagship has been built to meet the high standards of the United States Coast Guard, American Bureau of Shipping and the United States Navy. Incorporated in her design are the latest technological advances in hull, machinery and Httings to assure safety, speed, maneuverability, efficiency and comfort . . . whether used as a luxury liner or a troop carrier. When the UNITED STATES makes her maiden voyage from New York July 3, 1952, Sperry will sail with her. She will be fitted with a special adaptation of the new Gyro-Piloti: Control System providing accurate automatic steering. A Gyro-Compass System with many repeaters will supply precise heading data to Gyro-Pilot and radar. And a Sperry Radar System will sharply define above-water detail when visibility 1S poor il'I06Z'0P!'
