ENGINEERING E-2 E-2 Division, consisting of the Damage Controlmen (DC), Hull Technicians (HT), and Machinery Repairmen (MR), are the unsung heroes of the HAWES. E-2 Division does not share in the limelight of a 76mm gun shoot or the line handling in front of a crowd of civilian onlookers. Instead, they are called upon to ensure that those svstems that inost people take for granted are always in perfect working order. Like the steadfast defensemen of a hockey team the are not the glo- rious goal scorer, but the consistent LEF I TO RIGHT FRONT TO B. CK: LTjg Chmielewski. HT2 Dabien, HT3 Wag- ner, MR2 Fennev, HTFN Emery, DCC(S V) Stafford, DCFR Hebert, HT2 Richardson, HT2 Grimm, FN Emmett. NOT PICTURED: FITFN Gilliam. LTjg Mettler (P-DC. ) superlative player whose arduous work and talents go unnoticed and unappreciated until something goes afoul. Even when problems are quick- ly corrected there is nary a thank you nor a pat on the back, but simply a scornful look accompanied by a war- ning that it better not happen again. However, these men need no pat on the back. It is thanks enough to see the smiling face of a shipmate who hasjust utilized the golden piping system of E-2 Division. 24
