7fC Vwteio The four Main Engines, producing 120,000 HP, which are capable of pushing the ship along at more than 30 knots (about 34 miles per hour) are the particular pride and property of the Machinery Division. Composed of Machinist ' s Mates, whose bailiwick is either of the two engine rooms, the division rarely sees the light of day while underway. Considering what damage the turbines could sustain through carelessness, the men of M Division have an excellent record, especially after all of our 25 knot approaches followed by a two-thirds backing bell. They also maintain our evaporators, all three of which must be kept up efficient- ly in order that we can take our showers and have drinking water. The I oilers take a lusty draught of water for operation as does the ship ' s laundry, but somehow we manage to have enough for ourselves the ma- jority of the time. Their work is hard, dirty and dark but the particular type of individual who is down there, is an avid engineer and could think of doing nothing else. P. W. Britt, ENS Bethlehem, Pa. R.
