SEATTLE, WASHINGTON...June 16 , 1999...Todd Shipyards Corporation (the
"Company") announced financial results for the fiscal year and fourth
quarter ending March 28, 1999.  For the fiscal year, the Company reported net
income of $17.4 million or $1.75 per diluted share on revenue of $106.2
million.  For the quarter ending March 28, 1999, the Company reported net
income of $19.1 million or $1.92 per diluted share on revenue of $45.7
million.  In the prior fiscal year ending March 29, 1998, the Company reported
net income of $8.1 million or $0.82 per diluted share on revenue of $109.5
million.  For the quarter ending March 29, 1998, the Company reported net
income of $6.6 million or $0.67 per diluted share on revenue of $20.9 million.

Revenue and net income for both the fiscal year and fourth quarter were
significantly influenced by the Company's recently disclosed settlement with
the Washington State Ferry System relating to unpriced engineering and
production changes issued by the Ferry System during construction of the Mark
II Ferries.  Under the terms of this settlement, the contract price for the
three ferries was increased $23.5 million to $205.5 million.  In addition to
the increased contract price, the Company was able to record $1.2 million in
revenue associated with tasks completed under the original contract value that
it had not been able to recognize previously.  These amounts contributed $24.7
million to reported revenue for both the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended
March 28, 1999, allowing the Company to reverse $22.8 million in previously
disclosed contract losses.  In announcing the year-end results, Stephen G.
Welch, Chief Executive Officer of Todd, stated that "We are delighted to
reach a prompt and reasonable settlement with the Ferry System concerning the
engineering and production changes. This settlement will permit us to focus
the Company's resources on its primary business strategy of commercial and
government repair and overhaul activities."  The Company expects to receive
payment of all outstanding Mark II contract receivables ($26.2 million) in
July 1999.

The Company's full year revenue of $106.2 million reflects a decrease of $3.3
million (3%) from 1998 levels.  Revenue decreases for fiscal year 1999 are
attributable to the completion of the Mark II Ferry project, offset by revenue
increases in other new construction projects and commercial and government
repair and overhaul activities.  Fiscal year 1999 fourth quarter revenue of
$45.7 million reflects an increase of $24.8 million (119%) compared to 1998
fourth quarter results.  Fourth quarter revenue increases are primarily
attributable to the settlement the Company reached with the Ferry System on
the construction of the Mark II Ferries.

For the fiscal year and quarter ending March 28, 1999, the Company reported
operating income of $10.2 million and  $19.0 million, respectively.  Operating
income results for the 1999 periods were primarily attributable to the
completion and settlement of the Mark II Ferry project, causing a $17.4
million reduction in cost of revenues for the year which was only partially
offset by the $3.3 million reduction in revenue.  Consequently, gross margins
for fiscal year 1999 improved.

For the preceding fiscal year and quarter ending March 29, 1998, the Company
reported operating income of $3.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
Operating income results for the 1998 periods were attributable to a non-
recurring $6.1 million insurance settlement that the Company reached in the
fourth quarter with one of its carriers for property damage occurring in
previous fiscal years.  In addition, operating income during fiscal year 1998
was impacted by additional Mark II Ferry program loss reserves of $6.5 million
that fully offset improved margins in commercial repair operations.

The Company reported investments and other income of $9.0 million for the full
year ending March 28, 1999.  For the quarter then ending, the Company had
investment and other income of $2.0 million.  Fiscal year 1999 results include
the recognition of the remaining $4.5 million gain on the 1993 sale of the
Company's Galveston shipyard facility.  In the prior year periods ending March
29, 1998, the Company had investment and other income of $3.4 million for the
full year and fourth quarter investment and other income of $0.9 million.
1998 results included the sale of the Company's radio stations that were
operated by Elettra Broadcasting, Inc., for $5.3 million, which resulted in a
gain of $1.0 million.

In the fiscal year ending March 28, 1999, the Company recorded $1.8 million in
federal income tax expense after applying available net operating loss
carryforwards and business tax credits.  In the fiscal year 1998 the Company
received a federal income tax refund of $1.5 million in the quarter ending
March 29, 1998.  This refund resulted from net operating losses incurred in
fiscal year 1997 that the Company elected to carryback three prior fiscal
years.  This election, allowed recovery of previously recorded income tax
expense.
