U A r Division The men of A Gang are responsible for all diesel motors, auxiliary generators and air-conditioning systems aboard FLINT. The job calls for the Engineman to be skilled in different kinds of machinery repair and operation throughout the ship, earning them the nickname fresh air snipes. In the event the ship loses fire in the boilers, it ' s up to the engineman to light off the stand-by generators. Or when Flint is an- chored out, running liberty boats ashore, enginemen serve as boat engineers.
