Arabian Gulf I I S I o MP Division is glad to be home again in Japan. Operation Southern Watch was a resounding success and the cruise of ' 92 is history to them. They claim that if one listens, they can still hear a collective sigh of relief echoing from deep within the ship ' s engine rooms. They ' re tired but proud. Since April 15th, when the USS FIFE left Yokosuka harbor for deployment in the Arabian Gulf, MP Division has maintained an unfailing supply of electricity, steam, and propulsion power to the ship. To do this, they endured work space temperatures constantly in excess of 100 degrees, work days which were rarely less than 14 hours long, and a schedule which allowed little or no down time for major pieces of equipment. Most of all, we take this opportunity to heartily salute the true heroes of MP Division, the four LM 2500 gas turbine engines and the three Allison 401-K17 gas turbine generators which moved the ship and lit its way throughout the cruise. «t«» left to right 1st row: FN Calvan.
