ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT LT SHERER CHIEF ENGINEER CHANDLER ' S Engineering Department is manned by Gas Turbine Systems Tech- nicians, Electricians, Auxilliarymen, Damage Controlmen, Hull Technicians, Interior Communications Specialists, and Machinery Repairmen. All of these trained pro- fessionals work together to ensure the propellers keep turning and the lights keep burning. They spend their time in the lowest recesses of the ship, making repairs to the equipment and standing watch over the machinery which allows the ship to meet all of her commitments. From the senior supervisors to the junior personnel, this special breed of sailor prides himself on his technical knowledge and work ethic. When not engaged in maintenance or preservation, the engineers spend their time enhancing their professionalism through training on propulsion plant operations, safety programs, and damage control exercises. Always ready to answer any challenge, the Engineering Department upholds the high standards of pride and professionalism that are the trademarks of USS CHAN- DLER. 34 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
