l i F ENGINEERI NG 1 Ltjg. Harry Hazlehurst III, USN Engineering Ojicer THE ENGINEERING OFFICER. Hit Able Harry keeps the diesels running and we usually get there, oftimes with the help of bailing wire and chewing gum. He also sees that our floating city is provided with heat, light, and power, and sometimes fresh water. His biggest headaches come at tender period and ship yard overhaul. Holding two Letters of Commendation for his performance in BLAIR, we consider that We have the finest Chief Snipe in the Fleet. Sir ENGINEMAN. The Engineman sees that all ma- chinery is ready for sea and while at s machinery running. Underway he must for casualties that affect the speed of the rapid emergency repairs are made, such a small leak, or replacing a broken valve tor. YVhen in port, he will still be found engine room conductin Pro r s ' ea, keeps his be prepared ship - often as repairing in a genera- down in his g g e sive maintenance on his equipment. I 5 I i ! 1 i 1 Ens. David C. Hawley, USNR Damage Control Assistant THE DAMAGE CONTROL ASSISTANT. The Dam- age Control Assistant sees that the ship maintains.1ts watertight integrity, which involves every door, plpe, valve, porthole, and wire aboard ship. And in order that we may return to an even keel after rolling 50 degrees, he must carefully watch topside weight dis- tribution. His is a world of blueprints, diagrams, job orders, and calculations. He also organizes and trains the repair parties to insure maximum combat survival potential. wiki: ELECTRICIAN'S MATE. Electrical power is vital to the life of the ship. Without it the lights would go out, electronic equipment would cease to function and the ship's guns could only be fired manually. In addition, engines would stop and the ship would be a derelict awaiting destruction by the enemy. The EICC- trical Gang combats all types of electrical casualties, rigs casualty power when needed, and makes routine repairs to switchboards, motors, lighting and power i circuits. MMM i M k i I I
