LTjg. A. K. Paszly M Division Officer When paddles turned to props it became apparent that Engineering was here to stay. About this time a breed of men called snipes became traditional in the Navy, and the term Black Gang was pinned on this group for rather obvious reasons. Although today the black in the job is oil and not coal, the job of the snipe re- mains the same — to push the ship through the water. M Division, the latest refine- ment of the machine age, is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all mach- inery (except diesel), the turbine gener- ators, the evaporators, and also act as the throttlemen — the links between an order from the bridge and the response of the engines. Oh yes ... a few years ago, when engine- ering had evolved enough for M and B Divisions to be separated into different groups, a dispute arose over which groups should get which machinery. In most cases the difference was clearcut, but there was a big argument over one part. In the end, it was M Division which got the shaft. ' I ' BACK) : Burkett, T. I. ; Danrall, D. E. ; Lampton, T.
