LCDR Hennessey and Mayer planning the new look Leyte The Chaplain ' s No. 1 Man— Lt. Radeliffe— in a demonstration el jefe CDR Guerry THE ENGINEERS are strange people who work in the nether regions of the ship. They go for days without sight- ing the sea upon which they sail. The air they breathe must make myriad passages through air ducts before it reaches them. There are no stars in this world— only light bulbs. For some of these creatures the sun is only a myth. Oil and steam are the only established elements. Their coffee is made with boiler water. Their night ra- tions are flavored with grease. They do not wash their clothes, they steam them. Their ears are constantly filled with the din of meshing gears. They live in alternately hot and cold existence in this land of forced drafts and superheat. They are oblivious to everything that happens outside of the Spaces. In short, they live a very mole-like existence. You would naturally expect such persons to be slightly eccentric; maybe even downright peculiar. Well, they are. For a graphic example take a look at those three guys bend- ing over that lathe. Notice particularly the one wearing the hat. He is an officer. He gives the impression that he is concentrating on the lathe, but he isn ' t.

This in itself is a gigantic task, and is sufficient to keep the greater percentage of the division ' s 152 men busy. In addition, they are responsible for the stowage and transfer of all fuel oil. Refueling at sea is an obviously important op- eration-so important, in fact, that the man who supervises this duty is called a king, an Oil King. You know when the king is in his castle, all ' s right with the ship. This would seem to suffice, but no— B Division has one more important responsibility —that is the operation and maintenance of all evap- orators. All the water you drink, brush your teeth with, shower in, and make coffee with is brought to you by the courtesy of B Division. Yes, the real backbone of the Engineering Department.
