MM Division ' s Machinist ' s Mates operated the ship ' s four 25, OOO-horsepower engines, which turned our four gigantic screws nearly 32 million times each during the cruise. They answered the engine order telegraph from the bridge thousands of times, often when the ship was in tight spots, such as during sea detail, or shore bombardment, when precise maneuvering was a must. M Division ' s snipes also cared for the turbines, main reduction gear, shafts, shaft alleys, stern tubes, and the main condensers. 146
