NAVIGATION DEPARTMENT The Navigation Department is comprised of quartermasters, radarmen, radiomen, signalmen, yeomen, mail clerks, the combat photographer and the combat correspondent. In port, some, of course, are on liberty. The rest are busy getting ready for sea. Underway, quartermasters, the Officer of the Deck's right hand men, record each change in the weather,.correct charts, and clean and repair sextants and binoculars. The radarmen report ships, buoys and aircraft long before they can be seen by the lookouts. Radiomen, with a constant watch on the Fox', schedule, receive coded orders and reports no matter how far we may be at sea. The signal gang, when we are in a task force, spots the flag-hoists from the Commodore and relays his message to the OOD. Thus, the ship can send or receive messages and still maintain ,radio silence. Yeomen wade through piles of official correspondence, distribute and file it, take shorthand and tirelessly bang the type- writer. The mail clerks are probably the most indispensable men on the ship.,Everyone expects a letter Cwhether he has written one or notj. At Guadalcanal we received letters mailed six or seven days before in the states. At Okinawa we went without mail, but made up for it when we rated 72 pouches upon returning to Hawaii. V .

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT The USS Sheliak is powered by a 6,600 horsepower steam tur- bine. It is of the latest and finest design so far devised and has driven the narrow bow of this ship some 40,000 miles efficiently and without trouble. It is the job of the machinist mates, watertenders, electricians, and firemen to operate and maintain all equipment of the ma- chinery spaces. This they have done throughout the long months in a manner of which they can be justly proud. Besides the propulsion of the ship, there are other functions that keep the 'fBlack Gang busy-furnishing electrical power for motors which drive auxiliary machines, pumps, cargo Winches, ventilation of quarters and holds, and in short, all the many uses to which electrical energy is applied. The 15,000 gallons of water that are expended daily keep many hands busy seeing that adequate amounts are on hand and that the evaporators keep turning it out. Refrigeration is another duty of the engineering force. In the long hot reaches of the Pacific where cold Water, ice, and ice cream move into the must list, refrigeration is a problem and a vital part of continued operation. Each man of the engineering force is proud to have done his share in getting the Sheliakn to the enemy where her guns and her cargo have helped to bring a peace which we hope Will last forever.
