Vol.2 No.2 of The Invader, the monthly magazine produced for the Evansville Shipyard during World War II. This was published in November, 1943. The cover features a photograph of Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr. giving a speech at the shipyard under an orange splash with the title. This issue focuses primarily on the anniversary of the shipyard's first launching. One interior page also has a small circular section cut out as it was the face of the owner (most likely for scrapbook or similar). Issue totals 24 pages, including front and back covers.

The shipyard was owned and operated by the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Company from its construction in 1942 until its closing in 1945.
