BOILER DIVISION A ship can ' t operate without steam, and without the Boiler Tenders the fires would die and the equipment soon be unusable. Even though MANATEE had a highly successful overhaul involving major work on the boilers, the 25-year-old boilers showed the effects of the constant steaming. Leaks appeared without any specific cause and required long hours of hard, hot work to repair. Under the direction of Chief Petty Officer David KELLY and Robert McMURTRY the BT ' s kept the MANATEE steaming. At sea, working in a 100 degree plus temperature, BT1 Trellis YOUNG, BT2 Eddie HARRIS, BT2 Gene VINE worked First Row, L-R: CWO-2 J. GATDULA, BTC R. McMURTRY. Second Row, L-R : FA J. BAEHLER, BT3 W. JONES, BTFN P. RUMBAUGH. Third Row L-R: FN P. MANN, BT2 H. HARRIS, BT3 J. JACKSON, FN SHIREY. with their men port and starboard (12 hours on, 12 hours off) to maintain the boilers. Fireside cleaning, requiring men to crawl in the casing and clean off the accumulated soot, was accomplished under the most difficult circumstances. And when the ship pulled into port for a few days, there was maintenance and preser- vation of the fireroom to accomplish. Much of the work was accomplished due to the indi- vidual effort of BTFN ' s Reginald SHIRD, James BAEHLER and Robert RUMBAUGH. 75
