ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT LT D. G. F1I1OtIZ1 ENGINEER OFFICER The major engineering equipment of the GEORGETOWN is that which was originally installed in 1945, and is of more than passing interest because it is of a type rarely found in the Navy today. Two header-type boilers of 250 lb! sq. in. maximum pressure provide the steam to power the triple expansion engine that drives the single power screw. The GEORGETOWN is capable of making 11.3 knots at flank speed, at which speed, however, the capacity of the fuel tanks would permit the ship to steam for 76 days con- tinuously without refueling. - An automatic resersing engine allows the ship to back down from flank speed to dead in the water in less than five minutes. ' The ship has three 350 kw generators, one used exclusively for the vast array of electronics equipment. Also available is an automatic emergency diesel generator. For the making of fresh water, the GEORGETOWN is equipped with two of the latest flash type evaporators, each with a 500 gallon per hour capacity. I I
