Responsibility for keeping all our electronic gear in repair . . . a big iob, these days . . .falls to the ET's, who claim to be the most overworked gang on board.

E DIY ISION The E Division, currently the largest on board is the gang which keeps us going . . . back in to port for liberty, or out to sea on oper- ations. Battle steaming is normal for these boys, since anything can happen at any time in the engineering spaces. . . and usually does. Ensign D. J. Ammerman is mighty proud of his division's abili- ty to handle real or simulated emergencies in record time.
