W il m LT. J.L. HUGHEY Engineering Officer LTJG R.D. LOEFFLER Main Propulsion Assistant ENS W.E. JACKSON Damage Control Assistant ENGINEERI G DEP RTME T The unsung heroes of the Happy Tappy is LT, Hughey's Engineering gang. They provide us with all of the utilities, which are so easily taken for granted. Chief Greiner, MM1 Rowe, and his men continuously insure that water is generated, propulsion pro- vided and turbo-generators are rolling so that we may use the electrical gad- gets upon which we have become so dependent. Chief Thurman, BT1 Davis and company repair, clean, and fire boil- ers day in and 'day out providing that ' much needed steam to move the rol- ling stock or heat our compartments. Chief Rice, and MMI Lloyd look after auxilliary steam, operation of the galley, anchor windlass, steering engines, boats' engines, air condition- ing, and other 'auxiliary machinery, The Electrical Division under Chief Orduna, insures the safe distri- bution of electricity, maintenance and operation of IC and gyro equipment throughout the ship. Repair Division, earlier under command of LTJG Bierman, the world's greatest cargo officer by self-admission of course, and now ENS Jackson, works at a wide variety of tasks including the repair of hull and equipment, damage control pre- pardness of the ship, weight distribu- tion of cargo and the safe and efficient delivery of fuel during unrepevolu- tions. The extremely reliable perform- ance of the Engineers which allowed Tappahannock to meet everyone of her ordered commitments, is a record of which we can all be proud.
