Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series consists of records originating from Intrepid’s Engineering Department, which was led by the Engineer Officer (sometimes referred to as the Engineering Officer). From 1970 to 1971, the Engineer Officer was Cdr. M.R. Norby; from 1972 to 1973, Cdr. J.D. Korthe. The Department consisted of B and M Divisions led by the Main Propulsion Assistant, R and A Divisions led by the Damage Control Assistant, and E Division. Names of Division Officers are listed in the description for the appropriate sub-series. B Division maintained the boilers and ran the steam evaporators that fed the boilers and furnished personnel with fresh water. M Division maintained the ship’s main engines, turbines, generators, and related auxiliary machinery. R Division controlled and repaired damage to the ship. A Division maintained the ship’s emergency diesels, hydraulic equipment, boat engines, and all auxiliary machinery; controlled the heating system; and ran the machine shop. E Division supplied the ship with light and power and maintained and repaired electrical apparatus and outlets.

The Engineering Department records begin with a small volume of higher-level administrative correspondence and reference material about the department overall.
