ENGINEERING WE SALUTE THE ENGINEERS! The completion of a thirty thousand mile cruise without an engineering breakdown speaks for itself. The successful completion of the recent assignment in the Far East reflects the hard work of all hands. The Engineering Department deserves a well done for their part in fulfilling this mission. In addition to the more obvious task of propelling the ship, the Engineering Department must administer the damage control organization, maintain all auxiliary equipment, provide vital utilities, and act as the repair department for the ship. Many times the Engineering Department has been called upon to provide services not normally within their capacity; such as in Tourane Bay, where the shortage of fresh water necessitated the ship ' s evaporators working overtime to provide other ships in the harbor with fresh water. To accomplish this, all hands were requested to co-operate by conserving water. This feat could not have been accomplished without conservation methods adopted by crew and patients alike. Again in Inchon, the call for fresh water was received and at all times the ship was prepared to share this precious commodity. The Engineering Department of the Consolation consists of approximately 100 men and five officers. The department is broken down into five divisions as follows: M Division is responsible for the generation of steam necessary for driving the main engines, electric generators and various auxiliaries. E Division is responsible for the maintenance of all the electrical equipment. A Division maintains the various auxiliary equipment, such as fresh water systems, heating systems, refrigeration, air conditioning, and the numerous other machinery located outside the main engineering spaces. R Division consists of metal smiths, carpenters and pipe fitters who form the repair division for the ship. The engineers ' responsibility in preparing the ship for any extensive operation begins long before the ship ever leaves its home port. Every piece of machinery must be checked to insure its satisfactory operation for a long period of time and preventative maintenance must be carried on continually whether underway or in port. The Consolation is fortunate in having a highly trained group of men whose technical knowledge, devotion to duty and sense of responsibility has made them a credit to the Navy. Well Done! 14
