Ami The Engineering Department is responsible for the maintenance and repair of almost all machinery and electrical equipment on the ship. lt is also responsible for all boat engines and electrical systems. In addition, the Engineering Department makes repairs to other equipment when such repairs are beyond the capability of the division responsible for the equipment. The Engineering Department is headed by the Engineer Officer and is divided into four divisions according to the type of work and rates involved. A Division is res onsible for all auxiliary machinery aboard ship. A Division is headed by the Auxiliaries Officer ant? normally contains about twenty Enginemen and strikers. They maintain and repair the boat engines, steering gear, evaporators, refrigeration system, emergency diesel fire pumps, emergency diesel generator, the steam heating system, the galley and laundry equipment, and all deck Winches. The men of A Division have kept all the boats running and in excellent condition throughout the cruise. For this and their many other accomplishments, they deserve a well done . E 'Division contains all of the Electricians and Interior Communications Technicians. Under the Electrical Officer, it is resppnsible for the maintenance and repair of all electrical machinery and systems on the ship, With about fifteen men, they keep the ship's service generators, pump motors, vent motors, movie machines, gyro compasses, boat VAUGHAN, R.S. electrical systems, interior communications systems, and much Yeoman other electrical gear in peak operating condition. There is very little on a ship that does not involve the men of E Division, and their constant attention to details has been rewarded by a very low proportion of down time. R Division has an endless task of making repairs to piping systems, decks, bulkheads, boat hulls, etc. Any job that requires - cutting or welding, be it stopping a leak in a shower to replacing a section ofadeck, is uickl and efficientl done b R Division longer , is an apt description of their attitude. ln addition to repair work, R Division also maintains all firefighting and damage control equipment. No matter what it is that breaks, R Division can usually be found working on it. With all this work, R is one of the smallest divisions on the ship, numbering only about ten men. M 81 B Division is the largestin the Engineering Department, q y y Y - ,:r -'f' ' The difficult we do immediately.

Their competence has N. been shown by the very few and very minor problems that have been experienced by the engineering? plant.
