i I ' I hate paperwork! ' It can well be said that a destroyers ' ability to carry out her mission depends highly upon the state of readiness of her propulsion equipment, auxiliary systems, and the machinery associated with them. It can honestly be said that a destroyers ' ability to seek out and destroy relies upon her Engineers.
