ngineering Department The Engineering Department, under the leadership of the Chief Engineer, LTJG O'Malley, is by far the largest department on MAURY Its four divisions are comprised of 5 Gfficers and 109 enlisted men in 9 different ratings. The numerous activities of the Engineering Depart- ment are controlled from the Chief Engineer's Office,the log room,a place that also doubles as Damage Control Central during General Quarters. Housd in the log room are thousands of blue-prints,hundreds of instruction books, and complete files of operating data and records. After a highly successful overhaul at Pearl Harbor Naval Ship- yard the Engineering Department went to sea with the attitude of keeping everything running well. With pride in their work and tech- nical know-how the engineers maintained the same high standards throughout the entire cruise.Also during the cruise the engineers con- ducted competitive exercises consisting of an economy trial and full power run with final grades of outstanding. Half way through the sur- vey season MAURY went to Subic Bay in the Philippines for a two week yard availability period.While much leave and liberty was granted during this period, the engineers spent the majority of their time getting the ship ready for many more trouble free survey miles. The main propulsion units consist of two huge 2300 volt turbo- electric generators that make enough electricity to supply the norm- al needs of a city of 100,000 people. In addition the engineers sup- ply 10,000 kilo-watt hours of electricity daily for its own ship's use. They make over 22,000 gallons of fresh water each day from the salt water of the Gulf of Siam. The ships ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, and aviation gasoline systems are maintained by the en- gineers. Even the nightly cinemas are shown by men from this de- partment. The snipes are the force that bring life to MAURY and make it a safe and more pleasant place to live and work. 4 3 v 43- - LTJG j.P. O'MAI.I,.EY Chief Engineer I 1 ,Q-s-ul PTI
