M DI VISION This story is intended to inform you fthe type of work and the daily rou- Sine of the non-rated and rated Ma- chinist Mate as it was performed on USS WASHBURN during a cruise to Vietnam in 1968. The duties of the Machinist Mate assigned to the M Division were to operate and main- tain the ships main engines and as- sociated equipment such as: pumps, distilling plants , compressors , valves, oil purifiers, heat exchang- ers, governors, reduction gears, main shaft, and shaft bearings. A routine day started out at 089595 and everyone raced down the ladders to ambitiously turn to .
