Pittsburgh Fact #057 (The only true fact that will probably ever be posted)
During World War II, about 70 percent of airplane cylinders, one-quarter of the armor plate for warships, and one-third of the big cannon forgings for the U.S armed forces were turned out by Bethlehem Steel.
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation’s 15 shipyards produced a total of 1,121 ships, more than any other builder during the war which made up nearly one-fifth of the U.S. Navy’s fleet.
Fuck Yeah Pittsburgh
