Stein (FF 1065) - Naval Cruise Book

The world of the engineer is one of heat, noise, steam, long hours, hard labor and demanding watchbills. The engineer provides power, light, heat, ventilation, refrigeration, potable water, sewage disposal, steering and propulsion to the entire ship. It's a hard, dangerous, unforgiving world we live in and it's there everyday, every moment. We faced many challenges this year, the follow- ing are just a few examples: The first shipboard pre-overhaul test and inspection was conducted by ship's force without the aid of civilian techni- cians. The six-month deployment was executed sans any IMA assists and was followed by a suc- cessful ISIC command inspection and engineer- ing readiness assessment. There was also the AS- ROC launcher repairs, the fuel leak in Puerto Rico, and the fight for the 54BT. Not to forget the days of work squeezed into a few hours cold iron at anchor or any inspection on the ship, for in- deed, engineering was a part of all of them. Hard work and a success rate far above the expected have been the story of Stein engineers. There's pride on the deck plates of the ship that wears the gold E and it's well deserved. Engineers not only work hard-they play hard, too. It's how we keep the balance. Whether it's Longview, Malaga, or at home, the story is the same. Our emotional drive finds release in a king of play that wears others down in hours. We have to to, in order to stay saneg keep control. For it is the engineer's control that makes the difference down below. Any casualty could result in irrepar- able damage to the ship. It's up to us to contain it and keep on steaming, for steam is the lifeblood of Stein. We haven't missed a mission yet and we don't intend to start now. Steam makers and steam users, sparky's and HT's keep Stein on line and ready for the job at hand. ENS James R. Ohman 6 ENS Jose M. Casares ENS Donald S. Geidel GI EERI GDEP ml, 9.5.5 l,'l' Robert WL.
