S. NOVAK LCDR The heart of the ship is the Engineering Department. It supplies the lifeblood to all other spaces and departments in the form of steam, electrical power, fresh water, com- pressed air, air conditioning, heat, and interior communications. Besides providing these vital services, the Engineering Department has the important task of making the ship go. During the deployment the Engineers, with the aid of 4,035,873 gallons of Navy Distillate Fuel, enabl- ed BELKNAP to steam 35,891 miles. The depart- ment produced enough electricity to provide for the needs of 200 private homes and easily could double this figure with existing equip- ment. They gave the crew 915,840 tons of air conditioning and 3,600,000 gallons of fresh water. Some of the various ratings which make up the department are the Machinist's Mates and Boiler Technicians who provide the main propulsion steam and sweet-tasting water. Electrician's Mates and Interior Com- munications Electricians provide and maintain the telephone systems, the electrical generators, and the 1MC fwhich everyone wishes would not work so well when reveille is passedi. Also included in the Engineering Department are the Hull Technicians and the Machinery Repairmen who have the motto, When it's broken, we own it. Not to be forgotten are the Enginemen who maintain and operate the emergency generators, boat engines, and other auxilliary equipment. Without their skill and devotion, the liberty boats could not have maintained the high reliability for which they were noted. So often the term SNlPES is used when referring to the Engineers, but to them it is a word of pride. Whether conducting numerous BCCE'S, BDCE'S, or just plain old exer- cising at General Quarters, the SNlPES are always ready. They are justifiably proud of pass- ing the operational and material inspection ad- ministered by the 1200 psi Propulsion Examin- ing Board and being cited as the best in the Fleet. We will be ever mindful that diligent duty comes with being the best. All in all, it has taken long hours of hard, often dirty, work and a certain sense of pride to be called a BELKNAP SNlPE. The men of the Engineering Department are proud of their nickname and the fact that they are considered as among the best.
