A gang saw to the proper operation of all engineering equipment outside the engine room and fire room; while the HT ' s performed welding and hanging repairs on literally anything that broke. Together the two work centers were responsible for the ship ' s boats, diesel generators, helo refueling system, steering gear system, damage control training, and leading the ship in damage control readiness. We never saw a day go by that we weren ' t needed somewhere, and often times worked around the clock to keep things going. Our can-do attitude overcame obstacles that otherwise would have been insurmountable, and ea ch of us is rightfully proud of the job we did, and our ship.
