iEnterprise, a ghost ship — sitting quietly in the darkness and ' moored to the pier. Without the steam that drives her four massive engines and her eight turbine-generators, without the auxiliary equipment that provides numerous essential services, and without the well-trained and highly skilled men — more than 500 engineers in all — who keep her running in top shape, she would be but a lifeless hulk of steel at the mercy of the tides and wind. The Enterprise power and light company. Engineering Department, whose motto is machina bena constituta and whose mission is making the Big E work, is actually four divisions. Machinery (M). Electrical (E), Auxiliary (A) and Damage control (R) Divisions all work together as a team to accomplish this task. Their story: Thousands of repairs accomplished, tens of thousands of miles traveled, hundreds of thousands of telephone calls processed, millions of gallons of water distilled, and billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity generated. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from the island to the pump rooms, from the bow to the stern, the men of engineering are on watch and working. M-Division with its Machinist ' s Mates and Boiler Technicians operate and maintain propulsion equipment, evaporators, and the ! turbines that provide everything from electricity to high pressure ■ed water. They work in the mains and arms wnere high eat and humidity are a fact of life, yet they always achieve whatever is required. E-Division is comprised of Electrician ' s Mates who distribute power throughout the ship, maintain lighting systems, repair elevators motors, and galley equipment, and of the Interior Communications Electricians who maintain the ship ' s telephone system, gyrocompasses, main communication circuits. sound-powered phones, engine and steering control networks, and the various alarms and indicators required to operate the ship. A-Division repairs and operates all of the ship ' s auxiliary equipment. The A-Division team is made up of Machinist ' s Mates, Machinery Repairmen and enginemen. They supply steam to the catapults, hydraulic power for steering and elevator equipment, and they insure that the winches, air conditioning plants, emergency diesel generators, fire pumps, ship ' s boats, air compressors, and fiquid oxygen and nitrogen plants operate safely and efficiently. The men of the Machine Shop manufacture, rebuild, and repair needed parts for the ship, the air wing and the entire battle group. Damage Control and Repair Divisions have been merged into Engineering from their previous departmental status. Although it ' s Hull Maintenance Technicians are renowned primarily for their excellent emergency response team, the Flying Squad , R Division actually has two other major functions: they are the ship ' s experts in repair, welding, brazing, and non-destructive testing analysis and they are responsible for the training of the entire crew in techniques for damage control, which enables the ship to keep fighting in all environments. Engineering Department has its own administrative section which handles the overwhelming quantity of paperwork that evolves from running a large organization. From the routine to the complex, the yeomen of the Logroom keep the administration in order. Engineering Department: the men behind the scenes that propel the ship and provide the power to help make ENTERPRISE the premier warship of the U.S. Navy. ENGDEPT 215
