LTJG G. H. DORMAN ' . . .and the Mike bird uses it up... ' MIKE stands for Main Engines-the big turbines that drive I7,000 tons of steel through the water at speeds up to 32 knots. Here is where most of the vast amount of steam put out by the boilers is used up-producing as much as I20,000 horsepower in the TOLEDO's four screws. Each of the four main engines, the propeller shafts, the screws, and all of their associated equipment are under the cognizance of MIKE DIVISION. A pair of engines is located in each of two enginerooms, which operate as separate units. If necessary, all four engines can be operated independently of one another, so the division is ready to give its utmost no matter what damage sea or foe may inflict. And the men of the division ? Machinist's mates and firemen-some spinning throttles, some operating pumps, some keeping records, some repairing valves, all fifty-five helping to keep the Big T moving. Distilling the ship's fresh water is a collateral duty of great responsibility. The men of MIKE produce 40,000 gallons of fresh water a day from the salty ocean I All from two big evaporators, and enough to feed the boilers, boil the potatoes, clean the laundry, quench the thirst, and give showers to all hands. When one steps into an engineroom for the first time, he is overwhelmed by the sea of dials, wheels, cranks, valves, indicators, pumps, evaporators, and other machinery which seems to cram every available space. But this is the sea of which each MIKE DIVISION man must learn the rocks and shoals and the best and safest passage, for to operate the main engines of a heavy cruiser at their optimum efficiency and effectiveness requires a high degree of technical knowledge and skill.
