ENGINEERING
DEPT.

The Engineering Dept., made up of Boiler Technicians, Enginemen, Electricians, Interior Communications Electricians, Hull Technicians, Machinist Mates, and Machinist Repairmen, kept the Brewton moving through the seas to meet all commitments. The BT's kept the boilers fired up to keep steam moving to the MM's turbines and generators which provided power to the EM's switchboards, motors, and fuzes. The HT's maintained D.C. equipment, lead the fire parties, and provided welding services. The EN's kept the diesels up in case of that sudden emergency. The MM's of A Gang maintained the ship's air conditioning... or tried to against the heat of the Indian Ocean. The IC men worked on the ship's phones and interior comms. The EM's did their best for morale with "Movie Call". The large red "E" that sits on the mack is a true credit to their extreme hard work and dedication.
