28,000-Ton Orsova Launched at Barrow: Two Giants in One Day: The new 28,000-ton Orient liner Orsova as she began her perfect glide down the slipway after being named at Vickers-Armstrongs yard, Barrow-in-Furness, to-day (Thursday). She was launched by Lady Anderson, wife of Sir Colin Anderson, Orient director. The Orsova, intended for the United Kingdom-Australia trade and expected to be ready for service early in 1954, will be without a mast.
