This diversified organization, headed by Lieutenant H. C. Pratt, U.S.N., haS the responsibility of operation and maintenance of all propulsion and auxiliary machinery, and major repair to the hull, The five divisions of the department, totaling eighty-eight men, provide the ship with ventilation, heat, tele- phone service, fresh water in addition to electrical power to the lighting systems, winches and elec- tronic gear. Even the responsibility for the vital gyro compass lies in the Engineering Department personnel. A Division tends the auxiliary equipment, and repairs and maintains the deisel engines of the ship's twenty-six boats. lt also converts sea water to patable fresh water to meet the ship's huge daily require- ments. B and 'M' Divisionis responsible for keeping the main engines in top condition, as well as pro- viding the steam to run them and to heat the ship. E Division keeps an eye on all the electrical equip- ment and fixtures, from light bulbs to hefty deck winches. lt also is responsible for all interior communi- cations, including sound powered phones, the general announcing system and squawk boxes . R Division provides all of the departments aboard ship with experts in every phase of repair work. lt is also pre. pared at all times to minimize damage to the hull of the ship, to maintain water-tight integrity, and to take defensive measures against gas or atomic attack. Most of these jobs are done in remote spaces aboard ship where few people can observe the engineer at work. Consequently, the work done by the men of the Engineering Department is often overlooked by those topside, and the only recognition ofthe engineer's proficiency is the high spirit of the crew when the SANHORN returns from a safe and successful cruise.
