ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Power to get the ship underway and keep it moving is the responsibility of the Engineering Department. Everywhere aboard ship, 24 hours a day, the men of this department are producing steam, electricity, heat, refrigeration and ice, or are at work on some type of equipment essential in keeping the MACON in top operating condition. One of the department ' s divisions, the A Division, maintains and operates the ship ' s hydraulic machinery, steam heating systems, refrigeration equipment, diesel engines and many other types of auxiliary machinery. In addition A division engineers maintain the boat engines and keep the ship ' s vehicles running. Water into super-heated steam for the power needed by a 17,000-to man-of-war. This is the important task of B Division, the men who tend the boilers. Working in temperatures usually about 100°F, these men light off the boilers, control the water and check the many gauges. The water evaporators are an additional responsibility of theie boilerman. The generation and distribution of electricity for the MACON is the duty of the E Division. The uses of electricity, are just as numerous as the tasks assigned to the men of this division. Maintaining the lights, batteries and movies are only a few of the many jobs skillfully handled by E Division. M DIVISION is responsible for furnishing the main propulsion necessary to move the ship. Their spaces house the mighty turbines which produce power that can move MACON at speeds in excess of 30 knots. Every phase of propulsion from the main steam valve to the spinning shafts is the domain of this division. The fifth and final division of the Engineering De- jjartment is R Division. It is responsible for another important mission of the department — damage control. Damage control amounts to doing everything possible to keep the ship afloat, and to preserve her water-tight in- tegrity before and after battle.

Metalsmiths, ]3i])efitters, carpenters and damage controlmen are in- tluded in the peacetime function, mainly as general builders and repairmen keeping in practice on those skills which could me n life or death to a ship during time of emergency.
