Xf CDR Ackerman Qleftj turns over the keys to the Engineering Department to his relief, CDR Harper. ENGINEERING Ranger's Engineering Department provides those services necessary for her to carry out her assigned man-o-war tasks and to maintain a self-contained air base. The Engineering Department's primary function is to propel the ship at speeds needed for the succesful operation of today's fast jet aircraft. In order to meet this requirement, l200 PSI super-heated steam, generated by eight Babcock and Wilcox boilers, provides the energy to rotate four steam turbines capable of producing 280,000 ahead shaft horsepower. Each of the four shafts turns a propeller measuring more than 21 feet in diameter, equivalent to the height of a two-story house. A speed in excess of 30 knots can easily be attained at full power. In addition to the steam requirements to turn the turbines, the Engineering Department is responsible for supplying steam to operate Ranger's four steam catapults. The Engineering Department also has the responsibility to furnish the necessary services required by a community of 5,000 people. Engineering loggers-YN3 Goudy and assistants Arthur, Craig, and McGarvey.
