ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT The Engineering Department ' s primary mis- sion is propulsion, that is, the operation of the ship ' s main engines and boilers in order to give the ship the power to move rapidly and reliably. A secondaiy, but vital mission is the produc- tion of utilities, such as electricity, fresh water, refrigeration, and steam heat. M Division has the responsibility for the main plant. This division is made up of boilermen and machinist ' s mates. These men operate and maintain the four boilers and two main engines, which are the heart of the ship ' s engineering plant. In addition they operate and maintain the countless pieces of auxiliary machinery which are vital to the operation of the main plant. The responsibility of supplying the ship ' s utilities lies with R Division. This division, with its electricians, enginemen, machinery repainnen and numerous other specialists supplies the ship with refrigeration, steam for cooking and heating, fresh water and repair services for every conceivable type of breakdown or emergency. A warship has been defined as a mobile weapons system. Mobility for our weapons is supplied by the main plant. The GEAR- ING ' S two main engines are capable of pro- ducing 30,000 horsepower each from steam produced by the four high pressure boilers. The 60,000 horsepower delivered to the twin screws will drive the ship at speeds in excess of 30 knots for sustained periods of time. Reliability is the keynote of a Naval pro- pulsion plant. The complex machinery that makes a ship come to life must always be in perfect operating condition. In order to achieve this goal the men in the Engineering Department must carry out their jobs with a competence and lack of pretention that is in the highest traditions of the Naval Service.
