LTJG Bishop LTJG Ciaramaglia Mike division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the ship ' s main engines, their auxiliaries, and the evaporators. The division ' s primary job is to answer and carry out all speed changes ordered by the 0.0. D. The entire division stands watches underway on a one-in-three basis. Each man is qualified to stand one or more watches and is trained in the maintenance of the widely varied types of machinery found in the enginerooms. The forward engineroom is under the capable supervision of R.E. Vaughan, MMC, and his ichi-ban assistant, ILL. Tex Wedel, MM2. The number one repairman is R. A. Eppler, MM2, who when last seen was still working on his life-time project, the fire and bilge pump. The other straw bosses are G. W. Bryan, MM2, J. E. Koerner, MM2, G. I. Losh, MM3, and S. L. Neff, MM3. The after engineroom functions under the benevolent influence of J. T. Kelly, MMC, and J. B. Marchick, MM1. B. P. Soller, MM2, N.C. Thomas, MM3, and C. S. Gifford, MM2, make up the nucleus of the after engineroom repair gang, and they have conquered all projects except possibly the H. P. air compressor and that lube oil pump. The evaporator gang, notoriously known as the Salt Water Kings , are ruled by an old salt, Sandy Sandvold, MM2. His fellow accomplices are R. N. Lohdefinck, MM2, R. R. Greene, MM3, S. Brown, MM3, R.B. Vosburgh, FN, and J. L. Moyes, FA. LTJG B. C. Bishop is the Division Officer and he is capably assisted by CWO L. K. Mumford, Division Materiel Officer, who knows more about main propulsion machinery than the men who invented them. FRONT ROW: Schwarze, R.C., Bryan, C.W., Knickerbocker, G.L.
