M Division LTJG Andrew Kolarclk CW02 Michael Ihrig MMCM(SW) Bill Schmeelcke MMC(SW) Chris Chisholm MMC(SW) Dorsey Goins MMC Patrick Keasler MMC Ralf Smith MMI(SW) Scott Baird GW was steaming toward the Med when the Navy celebrated its one millionth mile on nuclear power. Of course, this couldn't have happened without Machinery Division. Where would GW have been without M-Division? Certainly not going anywhere or launching aircraft. The steam produced by Reactor Department was used by M-Division to produce the ship’s electrical power, propulsion and catapult steam, and auxiliary services steam. M-Division was also responsible for the ship’s potable water production. The main engines withstood the stresses of several 24-hour high speed transits when the ship needed to speed to an area in a hurry. M- Division Sailors also worked flawlessly while operating in the oppressive heat of the Arabian Gulf. Under these conditions, the main engines operated without fail and the steam plant ended up supporting in excess of 7,000 catapult launches. The distilling units produced nearly 70 million gallons of potable water for use throughout the ship. The reboilers made auxiliary steam for hot water, the laundry and the galley without interruption. The success of George Washington’s maiden deployment was made possible in large part by the constant efforts of the Sailors of M-Division.
