The engineering plant of a modern cruiser is as powerful and efficient a work of human ingenuity as science and years of ex- perience can make it, just ask that sweaty, grimy individual over there blinking at the sun light. Let's take a look at that fellow: he has the eyes of a detective, the mind of a watchmaker, the touch of a pickpocket, the patience of a surgeon, and the tenacity of a division of Marines-he must be an engineer. What is it that makes a light turn on at the flick of a switch? You say it's electricity, we say it's an engineer. What is it that makes the screws turn over when the Skipper so orders? You say it's steam. We say its the sweat, patient labor, and sacrihced sleep contributed by several hundred men before the mooring lines were ever taken in. Before an ounce of steam can flow, gears must be greased, gaskets must be replaced, valves must be tested, and gauges must be checked. To accomplish these and a thousand-odd other matters, we turn to the men in the Engineering Department. LCDR S. W. Horner, Jr Chief Engineer LT J. D.
