ENGINEMAN  1  &  C duties which will require that you have a greater knowledge  of  engineering  paperwork  and  the associated  administrative  procedures.  Supervisory duties and responsibilities require a knowledge of engineering records as well as of such items as inspections,  administrative  procedures,  training, preventive maintenance, and repair procedures. Information on the most common engineer- ing records and reports is given in this chapter. These standard forms are prepared by the various systems commands and CNO. The forms are for issue  to  forces  afloat  and  can  be  obtained  as indicated in the Navy Stock List of Forms and Publications,  NAVSUP  2002.  Since  these  forms are revised as conditions warrant, personnel order- ing  forms  must  be  sure  that  the  most  current forms  are  obtained.  When  complementary  forms are necessary for local use, make certain that an existing standard form will not serve the purpose before  having  complementary  forms  prepared  and printed. Legal Engineering Records The Engineering Log and the Engineer’s Bell Book are the only legal records compiled by the engineering  department.  The  Engineering  Log  is a  midnight-to-midnight  record  of  the  ship’s engineering department. The Engineer’s Bell Book is a legal record of any order regarding change in the movement of the propellers. ENGINEERING   LOG.—The   Engineering Log, NAVSEA 3120/2 (figure 2-1), and the Log Continuation   Sheet,   NAVSEA   3120/2A,   are used to record important daily events and data pertaining to the engineering department and the operation of the engineering plant. A table is pro- vided in the log for recording the hourly average rpm (to the nearest tenth) of all shafts and the resultant speed, in knots. Additional tables and spaces are provided for recording the ship’s draft and displacement (upon getting underway and anchoring  or  mooring);  the  total  engine  miles steamed  for  the  day  and  the  distance  traveled through water; the number of days out of dock; the amount of fuel, water, and lubricating oil on hand, received, and expended; the name of the ship, the date, and the location or route of the ship;  and  remarks  chronicling  important  events. Entries in the Engineering Log must be made in  accordance  with  instructions  given  (1)  on  the log sheet (NAVSEA 3120/2), (2) in chapter 10 of U.S.   Navy   Regulations,   (3)   in   Naval  Ships’ Technical Manual, chapter 9004, and (4) in direc- tives of the type commander. Remarks written in the Engineering Log must include (1) boilers in use, (2) engine combination in use, (3) major speed changes (such as 1/3, 2/3, standard, and full), (4) all injuries to personnel occurring within the department, (5) casualties occurring to material under the cognizance of the engineering  department,  and  (6)  such  other  mat- ters as may be specified by competent authority. Each  entry  must  be  a  complete  statement  and employ  standard  phraseology.  The  type  com- mander’s   directives   contain   other   specific requirements  pertaining  to  the  “remarks”  section of Engineering Logs for ships of the type; the engineer  officer  must  ensure  compliance  with these  directives. The original Engineering Log, prepared neatly and legibly in ink or pencil, is the legal record. The remarks should be prepared—and must be signed—by  the  engineering  officer  of  the  watch (EOOW)  (underway)  or  the  engineering  depart- ment duty officer (in port). No erasures are per- mitted in the log. When a correction is deemed necessary,  a  single  line  is  drawn  through  the original entry so that the entry remains legible and the correct entry is inserted in such a manner as to  ensure  clarity  and  legibility.  Corrections, additions, or changes are made only by the per- son required to sign the log for the watch and are initialed by him on the margin of the page. The engineer officer verifies the accuracy and completeness  of  all  entries  and  signs  the  log daily.  The  commanding  officer  approves  the  log and signs the log on the last calendar day of each month and on the date he relinquishes command. The engineer officer should require that the log sheets be submitted to him in sufficient time to allow him to check and sign them prior to noon of  the  first  day  following  the  date  of  the  log sheet(s). When the commanding officer (or engineer officer)  directs  a  change  or  addition  to  the Engineering  Log,  the  person  concerned  must comply unless he believes the proposed change or addition  to  be  incorrect;  in  this  event  the 2-2
