Naval Term of the DayToe the Line:The space between each pair of deck planks on a wooden ship formed a series of parallel lines a half-foot apart, running the length of the deck. Once a week, usually on Sundays, a warship’s crew was ordered to fall in at quarters, during which the crew was divided and would line up in formation in a given area of the deck. To ensure a neat alignment, the Sailors were directed to stand with their toes touching a particular seam.

USS ENTERPRISE, At sea –As aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) conducts operations in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility March 26, the ship is under consistent watch by Big E’s Engineering department to ensure the legendary warship continues to fight as strongly as she did 50 years ago. The oldest aircraft carrier commissioned for active duty in the fleet, Enterprise receives extreme attention to detail when it comes to upkeep to withstand the test of time. Since her commissioning in 1961, countless Sailors from Enterprise’s Engineering department have worked hard to help maintain the carrier’s operational readiness. It’s because of the efforts of these Sailors that Enterprise is still steaming ahead today. While Enterprise’s Engineering department consists of numerous sub-divisions, the brunt of repair work falls under Repair division. Repair division consists of different work centers such as the weld shop, collection, holding and transfer (CHT) shop, machine shop, pipe shop, engraving shop and carpentry shop. When it comes to the
scope of their handiwork, name almost any piece of equipment on Enterprise, and Repair division has probably fixed it at one time or another. From replacing missing nuts and bolts to overhauling machinery or replacing entire sections of the ship’s internal plumbing system, Repair division virtually does it all. “Every day is a ‘Repair day’ on Big E,” said Capt. Mark Metzger, Enterprise’s Chief Engineer. “These engineers, the best and hardest working in the Navy, smile while they fix their ship. It’s inspiring.” “Repair division handles a wide array of repairs on a daily basis,” said Hull Technician 2nd Class (SW/AW) Nathan M. Adams, lead welder of repair division’s
weld shop. “Each work center plays an important role within the division and we all contribute an equal amount in our own way.” Though Repair division handles hundreds of maintenance and repair requests each week, Sailors of all rates are also still responsible for various types of maintenance in the spaces belonging to their respective departments. “The importance of regular maintenance is self-evident on board Enterprise,” said Adams. “The fact that this ship is still operational after a half a century pays testament to the [material, maintenance and management] 3M program and all of the Sailors that work every day to ensure the highest standards are always
met.” Adams said that Enterprise’s 3M program is vital to the ship because of its age and the complexity of its design and structure, which is rather unique since Big E is the first and only ship constructed as an Enterprise-class carrier. “It is crucial that every machine, system and piece of gear has regular maintenance performed to encourage maximum life expectancy and to work at its full potential, not to mention ensuring the safety of its operators,” said Adams. According to Machinery Repairman 2nd Class (SW/AW) Jeremy M. Newkirk, the best way to make the jobs of those who repair Enterprise on a regular basis easier is to simply ask questions. “If you don’t know how to use a bolt extractor, ask ‘how’ instead of breaking the extractor into the bolt, which causes twice as much work and loss of man hours to fix,” said Newkirk. “No one ever got into trouble for not knowing unless they went past that point without asking for help.” Big ‘E’ is indeed a classic ride, with the Sailors comprising Repair division like the proud owners who go to great lengths to fix it up and show it off to the world.
