USS Georgetown (AGTR 2) - Naval Cruise Book

“LTJG McGregor gray DAMAGE CONTROL ASSISTANT M Division The major engineering equipment of the GEORGETOWN ia that which was originally installed in 1945, and is of more than passing interest since it is of a type rarely found in the Navy today. Two header-type boilers of two hundred and fifty pounds per square inch maximum pressure provide the steam to power the triple expansion engine that drives the single power screw. The GEORGETOWN is capable of making 11. 3 knots at flank speed; at flank speed the capacity of the fuel tanks would permit the ship to steam for seventy-sex days continuously without refueling. An automatic reversing engine allows the ship to back down from flank speed to dead-in-the-water in less than five minutes. The ship has three 350 kw generators, one used exclusively for the vast array of electronics equipment. Also available is an automatic emergency diesel generator. For the making of fresh water GEORGETOWN is equipped with two of the latest flash type evaporators, each with a 500-gaUon per hour capacity. The Engineering Department is made up of two divisions M Division and R Division. M Division per- sonnel are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the main engine, boilers, destilling pumps and evaporators. R Division personnel are responsible for the operation and maintenance of all air condition- ing equipment, electrical equipment, outside repair, internal communications, carpentry and welding. P.
