Division The responsibility of keeping the ship alive with the flow of electrons through miles of cables falls on the shoulders of the EE Division. To some it is a light blub, fan, or just a portable tool, but in reality the responsibility com es from the top of the mast to the keel, from the bow to the stern and all that lays between. There is not a space, compart- ment, or a movement on board the ship that is not in some way dependent on electricity. For example, the hot water, ice cubes, lighting, ventilation, boats, movies, medical equipment, navigational aids, numerous motors and controls telephones, safety alarms, laundry, dry cleaning, radios, shore power machines, repair shops, and emergency lighting are but a few of the many every day functions that use electricity and falls under EE Division maintenance. The division is comprised of highly capable petty officers and non-rated men who throughout the cruise functioned as a team. They kept the ships electrical system operating, sometimes under adverse conditions due to the obsolescence of equipment and lack of manpower. The efficient, reliable perfomiance of this division in carrying out their duties as petty officers and electricians is highly commendable and each deserves a 'Multo Bene'. LTJG.

Engineering Department LCDR. PAT TERSON Engineering Olticer EA Division The Engineering Department comprised of five divisions EA, EB, EE, EM, and ER largely determine the value of the ship in preforming its mission. The department is concem- ed in some way with just about every phase of CASCADE life. Not only in just providing horsepower to propell the ship but in supplying electric power, steam power, steam heat, water, ventilation and numerous other necessities that mlust be furnished and maintained in order for the CASCADE to be able to live up to its motto, 'WE SERVEC Theirs is not a glorious job but even tho they were shoft handed and at times the workload in keeping the plant operating seemed overwhelming the entire department did an outstanding job.
