Engineering Dennrfnnfnf The snipes as the many talented members of the Engineering Department are often called, maintain and operate the main propulsion plant and other machinery vital to TOLOVANA. There are pumps and vvinches to repair, throttles andgenerators to man, and fuel and water to pump. The boilers need constant attention. The logs must be faithfully kept. Lighting, water, cooling and heating systems cannot be suffered to fail. Near miracles of repair work are occasionally performed. Machinery, laundry presses, steam lines, pumps, lighting, any of these may break down at any hour of the day or night. What ever happens our machinery is never out of com- mission for long because the engineers are always on the job. In port or underway work and the watch continue. Underway, the temperature in the engine room may reach T30 degrees, but the watch goes on. Winter in Japan brings snow and bitter cold, but the watch and work go on, on deck and below. Steam goes through lines rarely used and antifreeze goes in the boats. The best escape from the cold is the engine room, now a cool 80 degrees. In port, many hours after the rest of the crew has gone on liberty the engineers are still aboard loading fuel and bringing Mighty T machinery up to standards so that she can continue to carry out her mis- sion in the highest tradition of the Naval Service. The price of good service to the fighting ships of the fleet is careful planning and long hours of work, the weariness of little sleep, the frustra- tion of balky equipment, and always the watch, but the can-do attitude of the men of Engi- neering contributes much to the fine performance of the Mighty T.
