In May, the USSB began an extensive repair program for these ships, allocating contracts to shipyards by tender. During the first three months of the program, the Morse Dry Dock & Repair Company secured $ 750,000 of contracts of this type, covering repairs to 77 USSB ships—more than twice the $ 350,000 value of contracts secured by its nearest competitor. By the end of the year, the USSB had spent a total of $ 20 million on such contracts.
