Af- ter departing the Norfolk piers, the ship immediately went to GQ while transitting through a simulated minefield. Every en- gineer manned his GQ station as TRUETT began an intensive six months of damage control training. The Engineering Depart- ment spent most of the deploy- ment preparing for every engi- neer's worst nightmare - a pos- sible outchop OPPE. Many long hours were devoted to repairing machinery, preserving space, and updating administrative programs. Although the OPPE never came, the Snipes main- ,-gg, ..1,,x-.,,-.V - ' - ,.g.:..... -....--.p.,a1.- tained TRUETT'S engineering plant at peak readiness. There were times when it appeared TRUETT would miss a com- mitment, due to plant casual- ties, but the hard work of every department member got TRUETT underway on time. Each division in the depart- ment had an important job to do, the BT's kept the boiler lit, the MM's made the engine turn, the EM's!IC's kept the lights on, and the HT'sfDC's handled san- itation and damage control. The A gang guys took care of emergency power and crew com- fort. The end result was a total team effort that kept TRUETT haze gray and underway ! 25
