This book and the sources of additional information mentioned in the text furnish much of the information neeensary for the proper administration of the engines...4g department. This book is not intended as an official refer- ence; if it is at variance with. any official directive or doctrine publica- tion, such directive or publication must apply. Current official directives and technical manuals should always be consulted for current information concerning the organization, responsibilities, and functions of the engi- neering department. This book is based on this assumption that the reader, as a line officer, a limited duty (engineiring ) officer, or as an engineering duty officer, is familiar with the various aspects of marine engiheering and appropriate technical material, and has acquired a general knowledge of the Naval Ships Technical Manual, as well as of Bureau of Naval Personnel texts relating to naval machinery and shipboard electrical systems. Engineering Administration is used as the reference text for an officer correspondence course. Engineering Administration, NarPers 10858-D, was prepared by the Training Publications Division, Naval Personnel Program Support Ac- tivity, Washington, D. C., for the Bureau c7.f Naval Personnel. Technical assistance was provided by the Naval Ship Systems Command, the Com- mander, Service Force, U. S.

It is upon the maintenance of this control that our country's glorious future depends; the United States Navy exists to make it so. WE SERVE WITH HONOR Tradition, valor, and victory are the Navy's heritage from the past. To these may be added dedication, discipline, and vigilance as the watchwords of the present and the future. At home or on distant stations we serve with pride, confident in the respect of our country, our shipmates, and our families. Our responsibilities sober us; our adversities strengthen us. Service to God and Country is our speeial privilege. We serve with honor. THE FUTURE OF THE NAVY The Navy will always employ new weapons, new techniques, and greater power to protect and defend the United States on the sea, under the sea, and in the air. Now and in the future, control of the sea gives the United States her greatest advantage for the maintenance of peace and for victory in war. Mohility, surprise, dispersal, and offensive power are the keynotes of the new Navy.The roots of the Navy lie in a strong belief in the future, in continued dedication to our tasks, and in reflection on our heritage from the past. Never have our opportunities and our responsibilities been greater. ii CONTENTS CHAPTER Page 1. The Engineer Officer 1 2. The Engineering Department 12 3. Damage Control.. 31 4. Training 53 5.
