The Engineering Department under the leadership of Lt. Ernest lThe Shoel Cobern claims to be one of the most efficient departments on the ship. This cruise has substantially supported this claim. Under the skilltull eye of Mr. Cobern the ship succeeded in operating in hazardous areas little traveled by U.S. Warships. The Hooghly River, in particular, was the cause for many emergency bells. There were numerous problems encountered concerning properly distilled and chlorinated water. Furthermore, nobody knew for certain where we would get our fuel oil nor if it would be of suitable grade. Finally, there were always one or more pieces of vital machinery out of commission due to lack of spare parts because of the unique and complex nature of the plant. Nevertheless, whether there were moans or groans, the plant pushed us across 40,000 miles of sea to carry out our missions. This portion of the book is dedicated to Mr. Cobern and the men who kept the ship steaming.
