LCDR N. J. SHACKELTON, Jr. REPAIR OFFICER Lieutenant Commander Shackelton is a native of Syracuse, New York. He was graduated from the United States Naval Academy in June 1963. Upon commissioning, he was assigned as Communications Officer, USS ABBOT (DD-629). He then attended Naval Destroyer School, Newport, R.I., followed by a tour as Engineer Officer of USS WILLIAM M. WOOD (DD-715) from September 1965 to April 1967. He served as Operations Officer of River Section 541 in Nha Be, Vietnam from August 1967 to August 1968. He then attended the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, until September 1973 where he received Master of Science and PHD degrees in Operations Research. He was then assigned to his present position as Repair Officer, USS VULCAN (AR-5). The Repair Department’s mission is to provide maintenance support for all ships of the United States Atlantic Fleet. The intermediate level maintenance performed by the VULCAN Repair Department bridges the gap between work performed by the ship’s force personnel and extensive shipyard overhauls. The Repair Department is composed of seven divisions. The Hull Repair Division (R-1) is manned primarily by Hull Maintenance Technicians, Patternmakers and Moulders. These personnel manufacture and repair many hull structures using heavy metal plate, sheet metal, pipe, and wood. Additionally, many parts not available through the supply system can be poured in the foundry. The Machinery Repair Division (R-2) is made up of Machinery Repairmen and Machinist Mates. These men overhaul many types of naval machinery and valves as well as manufacture parts for all of VULCAN’s shops. The Electronic Repair Division (R-3) performs maintenance on shipboard electrical systems, as well as movie projectors and gyro compasses. The rates of personnel assigned to R-3 Division are Electricians and Interior Communications Technicians. The Electronic Repair (R-4) Division’s Electronic Technicians, Radiomen and Instrumentmen perform repairs and calibration to electronic and mechanical test equipment and meters. This division also repairs teletypes, typewriters, and clocks. The Ordnance Repair Division (R-5) is composed of many varied shops and ratings. They are the Optical Shop, Print Shop, Ordnance Repair Shop, Photo Lab, Drafting Shop, Fire Control Shop, Canvas Shop and Engraving Shop. The Quality Assurance Division (R-6) consists of the non-destructive testing personnel, the diving team, and Repair Department administrative personnel. The Propulsion Repair Division (R-7), made up of Enginemen, Machinist Mates and Boiler Repairmen performs repairs to boat engines, air conditioning system and boilers. R-7 Division is also responsible for supplying the ship with the necessary locksmith services required. 126
