Scope and Contents
The Engineering Log is a complete daily record by watches. It is a record of important events and data pertaining to the Engineering Department and the ship’s propulsion plant. The log shows the average hourly revolutions per minute for all shafts; the speed in knots; the total engine miles steamed for the day; all major speed changes; draft and displacement upon getting underway and anchoring; fuel, water, and lubricating oil on hand, received, and expended; the disposition of the engines, boilers, and principal auxiliaries and any changes in their disposition; any injuries to Engineering Department personnel; and any casualties to machinery, equipment, or material. The remarks are prepared and signed by the engineering officer of the watch (EOOW) underway or the engineering duty officer in port. The engineer officer verifies the accuracy and completeness of all entries and signs the log daily. The commanding officer approves the log and signs it on the last calendar day of each month. Also present in this sub-series are instructions for making entries in the Engineering Log.
