FURNI H THE PO ER.. The Snipes, the Black Gang, whatever our name We're always on the job which is never the same. Whether it's wiper or throttleman, repairman or electrician We're proud of our ship and the department weire in. Inspections and exercises, ORI and INSURVE to boot We polished 'em all off with a clout on the snoot. We got the second hash mark on our Engineering 'LEM It was cooperation and teamwork that brought this to be. We prepared for our cruise, but not with much muse As we patched up one hole, another sprung loose. Underway at last we headed for WESTPAC Knowing it'd be next year before we'd be back. We made the Orient circuit with no major breakdown Save for the coke machine that had a zero ground. It was amazing how well she did stay together As typhoon warnings were standard for weather. Home soon we were, all safe and all sound And went off on liberty or homeward leave bound. It wasn't long, though, 'fore we returned to our mission Of putting ole BREMERTON out of commission. As we part to the winds, to the East or the West We'll remember Engineering as being the best. Weill forget all the heat and the smell of the oil But not so the friends we made while we toiled.

The machinist mates of the division man the two engine rooms of the ship, are responsible for the ship's main engines and all auxiliary machinery located in the engine rooms. They supervise and maintain the all important evaporators, which provide the water for the scut- tlebutts, galleys and those all important Navy showers. Requiring teamwork and hard work, M Division supplies both to do a tough job well. THE M N FBO F0 HTH ROW' J F Kurtz FN- D W Freeman FA c J Bullard FN W c P k T lriwurves, FAg W. H.
