Hunter Q To look at a ship you might not notice them, but if you planned to go to sea in a ship, you would soon learn to know the men of the Engi- neering Department. These are the men who know the secret of the ship's heart. Clustered in the engine rooms, fire rooms, repairs hops, where-ever needed throughout the ship, they turn the valves and interpret the dials-pumping life-giving power in the form of steam and electricity to the ma- chinery that makes a living thing out of at ship . . . the BTs, MMs, ENs, DCs, EMs, SFs, ICs, and BRS. i X ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT llllllll 3 EWMN, H11 1 itll QXQQW ,

DIVISIGN A-Division is composed of Enginemen and Enginemen strikers. They are responsible for the overhauling and the maintenance of diesel engines in PlEDMONT's fourteen liberty and working boats, The running condition of the ship's emergency diesel generator, overhauling destroyers, motor whale boats, and their diesel gener- ators, Also purifying diesel fuel and refueling of ship's boats. PIEDMONT's boats have to be in good mechanical condition because usually they are depended on to provide provisions, as well as transportation for liberty parties. ln cases when the ship's generators are out, the emergency generator produces emergency power until main power is in opera- tion. The division is not only part of the Engineering Department but also a repair facility in that repairs and overhauls are ac- complished on destroyer diesel engines. Kopylczak, T. Hinsey, P.S.
