The job of maintaining the 25 year old plant never ceased, under- way or in port. For the boilermen there were always firesides or watersides to be cleaned. Similarly the machinist mates had plenty to keep them busy. A casualty to our number one ship S service turbo-generator in December was the only serious casu- alty suffered in the engineering plant during the entire cruise, yet there were always valves, pumps and other equipment whwll required considerable attention.
