Propulsion The Engineering Department keeps an eye on ELLIOT ' s pro- pulsion auxiliary systems. The plant needs constant atten- tion to ensure prompt action in the event of a casualty which could impair the ship ' s ability to maneuver. Aside from main propulsion, the engineers also provide vital services such as making fresh water, electric- ity, steam and chill water for air conditioning cooling. They also weld, manufacture parts, maintain phone circuits lots of logs - plus dispose of our sewage.

Combat Teamwork is the key ingredient required for ELLIOT to successfully detect, track, and engage enemy forces. Modern warfare involves high technology and swift action. Finding a potential enemy is no easy task. From the lookouts with their binoculars to the STs listening to sounds from the sea, from OSs watching radar sweeps to EWs moni- toring the SLQ-32, continual vigi- lance is the watchword. All contacts are reported, tracked and analyzed. It is not easy to identify an unknown contact. Long hours of maintenance keep the weapon systems up. Prac- tice makes perfect, and it sure is a lot of fun to shoot a . 50 caliber machine gun or fire a Sea Sparrow missile. OSS Joe Beach mans the SPA-25 radar repealer 24
