ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Beneath the sleek grey hull of the destroyer, beneath the spread of radar systems and below the array of weapon systems is a different world. A world that provides power to the upper world of the radars and weapons. This is the World of the Snipe. This is INGERSOLL ' s Engineering Department. Four Divisions make up the World of the Snipe: Main Propulsion Division. Main Propulsion Division is made up of the Gas Turbine System Mechanics (GSM) and Electri- cians (GSE). MP Division is responsible for the four LM 2500 gas turbine engines and the three Alison gas turbine generators that provide propulsion power and electrical power to all of INGERSOLL. Auxiliary Division. A-Gang , as they are known, is made up exclusively of Enginemen (EN). A-Gang is responsible for the evaporators, air conditioning units, refrigeration units, and fresh water systems of the INGERSOLL. A Division is responsi- ' ble for warm showers, cool berthing and fresh food. Electrical Division. E Division consists of Electrician Mates (EM) and their jobs range from the overhaul of major electrical pumps Jo the occasional burnt out light bulb. E Division manages the electrical safety program onboard and has the sole re- sponsibility for all electrical equipment onboard. Repair Division. R Division is manned by personnel from three different rates: Hull Maintenance Technicians (HT), Ma- chinery Repairmen (MR) and Damage Controlmen (DC). HTs are responsible for INGERSOLL ' s two sewage treatment plants and perform all the welding and repair jobs aboard. The MR shop is complete with a lathe and a mill. The MRs per- form repairs on everything from watertight doors to the gun mounts. Finally, the DC-men are responsible for training the crew in all aspects of fire fighting, damage control and Chemical, Biological, Radiological Defense (CBR-D). They maintain INGERSOLL ' s three repair lockers and prepare the ship for any damage. As a whole, GSMs, GSEs, ENs, HTs, MRs and DCs, propel the ship through the water, provide electrical power, hotel ser- vices, and prepare the ship for casualties. Together, this black shoe gang make up INGERSOLL ' s Engineering Department. 22
