Sound boat Four limps alongside and is hoisted into the skids. This means an around the clock operation for the boat shop engineman until the boat gets back on the line. We need three portable houses for Lorac station generators and 50 center poles for triangulation. The men in the carpenter shop turn to and it is done. The ship ' s heads are in poor condition. Every one of them must be renovated, says the Captain. The shipfitters get on the job with their torches and vrenches. These are just a sample of the duties which fall to the engineering department to carry out in addition to its main task of propelling the ship. The multiple activities of the department are controlled and directed from the Log Room, a place vhich doubles as Damage Control Central during General Quarters. Kept in this room are 3,000 blue prints, 250 instruction books and a complete file of operating data and records. 12 Left — Overhauling sound boat engine. K oi ' c— Shipfittcr cuts steel on power saw. When an order from the bridge to the engine room says. All engines ahead stand- ard, make 137 RPM, it soimds simple enough. But it takes the combined efforts of 125 men to make compliance possible. Two huge 2300 volt turbo-electric gener- ators tmn the Maury ' s two screws. These generators make enough electricity to sup- ply the normal electric power needs of a city of 100,000 people. In addition to motive po s ' er, the en- gineers supply 6,000 kilo vatt hours of electricity daily through its ship service generators for the hundreds of electrical outlets in the ship. Over 20,000 gallons of fresh water are made daily from the saltiest tidewater in the vorld, the Persian Culf. The ship ' s heating, ventilation and air con- ditioning systems are maintained. Even the movie projectors are operated by engineers. Yes, in a large measure this is the force which makes this ship a living thing. Engineers man the shops vhose ser ' ices are so essential in keeping the ships and
