ENGINEERI G DE PART N . If X LT. Edward G. Schwier, USN The final judgement of any ship is her ability to meet her commitments. She must have the mobility and the dependability upon which sound command decisions can be made. In less than a year REASONER'S engineers have experienced a major shipyard overhaul, a rigorous refresher training, and pa six month deployment, but have met all these commitments with a high degree of professionalism and enthusiasm. The dedication to duty, by the engineers, often under very ardous conditions, has given REASONER the reputation as one of the finest steaming ships in the Pacific Fleet. As a single screw ship, meticulous attention must be given to all aspects of operation, maintenance, and repair. There are virtually no back up systems which means that there is absolutely no margin for error. Our engineers have spent long and trying hours to ensure that support to weapons systems, shipwide hotel services. and operational mobility are maintained continuously, to thereby assist the command to meet each of its scheduled commitments on time. As evidence by a casualty free. 15,000 mile, solo-ship transit from Westpac to San Diego, the efforts by the engineers have paid dividends for all hands. In the final assessment. REASONER'S engineers have responded to all challenges like champions and have met all their responsibilities. No other accolade can be more meaningful than this. f.. A l 3 l i l
