Lt Charles I., Bruckner, USN Engmeqringwg G From performing highly sophisticated main propulsion operations to the everyday tasks of maintenance and cleaning, the CONNOLE Snipes got the job done in their usual capable manner. They were equally adept in running full power while making repairs, as they were in providing the normal hotel type services with barely an interruption. Their track record is among the best, and the statistics say it all. During the cruise the ship steamed a distance of 41,344 nautical miles while consuming 2,266,462 gallons of fuel, for an economical 54.81 gallons to the miles. The engineers also produced 1,218,332 gallons of feed water for the ships boilers and 1,488,477 gallons of fresh water for the crew, not to mention the 17,152,000 ice cubes that eased the long. hot summer days. To say the .engineers passed 'a propulsion examinin.gfbo'ard after, steaming six months under they mostldemavndingof circumstances is no smalllfeat, yet they acknowledge this accomplishment only as routine. From paralleling the electrical load to adjusting room temperature to a comfortable medium, and from emergency light-off and casualty procedure to ensuring pleasant sanitation facilities, the men in coveralls did it, with a can do attitude and spirit not often found on naval vessels. The Engineers were definitely Ready to answer all bells . if Ens P.E. Moyer, USNR Main Propulsion Assistant B and M Division Officer 1 K A .. . , v Ens K.

Battleships are a little like steel cities or great factories of destruction. Aircraft carriers are floating 'flying fields. Even cruisers are bit pieces of machinery, but a destroyer is all boat. In the beautiful clean lines of her, in her speed and roughness, in her curious gallantry, she is completely a ship, in the old sense. john Steinbeck Destroyermen have always been a proud people They have been the el1te They have to be a proud people and they have to be speclally selected for destroyer l1fe IS a rugged one It takes physlcal stamlna to stand up under the rlgors of a tosslng DD It takes even more sp1r1tual stamma to keep golng w1th enthus1asm when you are tlred and you feel that you and your shxp are bemg used as a work horse It xs true that many people take destroyers for granted and that IS all the more reason why the destroyer Captams can be proud of therr accompllshments Admlral Arle1gh A Burke I., ,.,. . ,.. . ,-.f- fffoim X 1 mv , .
