ENGINEERI ' -MA- LTjg IAN RAMSEY The liig Wllt't'ls This division of Machinist Mates and Machinery Repairmen is charged with keeping the inner soul of the Renville running. These men must operate and repair the main turbines, the reduction gears and auxiliary machinery that move the ship through the water. Malfunctioning in any way prevents the ship from perform- ing her prescribed operational commitments. The huge throbbing heart of the Renville thrives on the proper maintenance and care which the Machinists give her. The Machinery Repairmen in their shop manufacture and repair machinery parts as needed to aid in the repair and upkeep program It is apparent that 'food care o ' U has been taken of the Renvilleis machinery over the past year as she has not missed a single commitment due to improper maintenance or faulty repair. It is these men who stand the watches in the engine room answering th ' l ' e signas from the bridge to speed up or slow down, to go forward or back down. It is these men that answer the bells quickly and with expert know-how. L to R., Standing: DISCHER, D., MMCg MINNICH, J., MM1g DAVIS, V., MR2- D I ' LIAMS, J. MM2g ZOZGORNIK, M. MM1g DARTING G.
