LT J. Martin Engineering Officer , ,, ,,,,, 1- . --.5 Mfg, an-M, 1:--f-1 Black oil is the lifeblood of a naval vessel. The tasks and moments of frustration of converting this black oil to usable energy and the application of this energy to run the ship is the -j ob of the BRONSTEIN Snipe . By burning this licorice-colored liquid, the snipe produces steam which propels the ship, de-salts sea Water, and generates electricity. From these basic building blocks of steam, Water, and electricity, the snipes provide services that make a cold ship into a home for 200 men. To burn 2.5 million gallons of black oil While steaming approximately 54,000 miles without an engineering -casualty is tribute enough to an outstanding gang of snipes. These men are responsible for the red E of engineering excellence which BRONSTEIN so proudly wears. '

M DIVISION M Division is comprised of Machinist Mates or MM's. Their space is the engineroom and they pride themselves on making it a show- place . They take the steam produced in the fireroom and convert it into horsepower which drives the ship's large propeller. As they man Main Control, the Officer of the Deck can be confident they will answer all speed orders with precision and skill enabl- ing BRONSTEIN to carry out any and all maneuvering that is required of her. j LT fjgj W.
