Erom re- pairing plumbing, to electric motors, diesel engines, and boilers, Alfa, Echo, Mike, and Romeo Divisions, through experience, hard Work, and training became proficient in their respective jobs. Many times the 'Snipes' Worked around the clock, in port and at sea, to maintain repairs of the well Worn equipment. Engineering battle stations are in the engi- neering spaces and with the repair parties for firefighting, shoring, and repairing battle damage.

The Evaporator Gang makes all the fresh Waterg they did so well that We did not have to go on Water hours during the cruise. The Refrigeration Gang maintains over a hundred air conditioning and refrigeration units. Their efforts have pro- vided fresh food, cool drinking Water, ice cubes and cold air with only a few temporary inter- ruptions. The Machine Shop makes almost everything from soup Qby maintaining the galley gearj to nuts Qthey make bolts tooj. They fix the laundry equipment and take care of all steam outside the engine room. The Boat Gang takes care of all the diesel engines aboard, providing liberty boats and air conditioning power.
