They took care of both LM2500 Gas Turbine engines and all associated auxiliaries and controls. They also own gauge calibration and the oil lab. From the time they left homeport to the day they pulled back in, it was the men in E-1 Division that kept THACH steaming night and day Many of them got advanced to a higher rank during this deployment, some received medals and awards for achievements, others found new light on a foreign ship, and some got in better shape physically Needless to say, everyone on this ship prospered in some Way on this deployment. THACH ventured to many ports and sampled the delights of foreign cultures. They also have had a great task to do regarding SOUTHERN WATCH. It was a testament to all THACI-I shipmates to make a deployment and then come home to loved ones in one piece and be able to stand up proud t0 be an American.
