.... km an ff Engineering epartment Deep within the bowels of the ship, men scrutinize dials and gauges while manipulating levers and valves. The task at hand is the transformation of energy, energy that brings life and movement to the CORAL SEA. First to arrive when the ship is scheduled to get underway, and the last to go on liberty once it has returned are the hard working snipesg 'first on, last off' are the dubious aggn assaiif 7, honors that befall these tireless engineers. Although A their work is concentrated in the firerooms and syy. egg enginerooms, better known as 'holes', their influence is alft felt from the bow to the stern and from the bridge to the E tsr, 1 ..,, Q irri' keel. The range and scope of services Provided by the CDR H. J. Suachwnz engineering department is staggering. Fortunately, pepafgmeng Hggd Engineering is the largest department aboard CORAL SEA, with the workload being divided between six main divisions: A, B, E, M, MP, and R.

Ai, A2 lv s ens Providing the services necessary for comfortable living aboard the CORAL SEA rests with A-division. But the hotel services are not the only concern of A gang, as their expertise affects many varied evolutions aboard the CORAL SEA. ln most cases the nature of the work is reflected in the title of the shop: Hydraulics -this shop is responsible for the care and upkeep of the aircraft elevators and the hydraulic components of the ship's steering system. They are also responsible for the anchor windlass motors and the winches used for underway replenishments. Steam Heat - these men work with the life blood of the shipg steam. Although they deal primarily with habitability steam such as hot water heaters, steam used in the galley, laundry, and various other heating systems, they also maintain the steam catapult system used for launching our aircraft. AC8tR - this shop is usually brought to mind when the temperature in your office or berthing compartment begins to rise. They service and repair the ship's air conditioning plants as well as food refrigeration units. Diesels - rarely needed but very important nevertheless are the men who maintain the FWD and AFT emergency diesel generators. They are constantly ready to provide emergency electrical service to the ship should the ship's service generators fail to handle the load. They also maintain the power plants aboard the motor whale boats and the captain's gig. Auxilliaries - their basic function is to provide air: they operate the compressors that provide low, medium, and high pressure air. Machine Shop - if a machined part is needed in a hurry the machine shop is equipped to manufacture such items as bushings, shafts, wear rings, and flanges. 02N2 plant - it could be said this work center is a 'gas'!! They manufacture liquid oxygen and nitrogen. The oxygen is used for pilot breathing systems and oxy-acetylene welding rigs. The nitrogen is used to inflate aircraft tires, purge fuel systems, and fill electronic modules. , .
