ENGINEERING DEPARTME T ,-1' IT TAKES a lot to operate an aircraft carrier. It takes skill and hard work and cooperation. It takes a little bit from. everybody, but there is one department aboard ship-any ship-which is as basic as the rest are complex. That is the Engineering Department, the 'black gang,' the 'snipesf ' It doesnit' require a knowledge. of calculus to fire a boiler or turn the throttle ,wheels ona turbine, but without either a ship is just a listless hulk uponf the ocean deep. Besides providing the driving force which takes a ship anywhere, it is the organization which is so accommodat- ing with the various amenities of life which make ship- board life as close to shore-based life as possible. The snipes provide you with hot water for showers, cold water to brush your teeth, air to breathe, heat to cook your food, electricity to read by, and other conveniences had iniinitum. Aboard the Leyte there are six Engineering divisions- A, B, E, ER, M and R. These divisions, each with their own specific tasks, are integrated into one group whose efficiency can be attested to by our Commandingofficer who gave the department a hearty well done upon the conclusion of the ubig push.
