| Ship's Manuals | |||||
While we think of the Sumner as a ship ready for combat she was also a floating technical library. During the Sumner's 8 1/2 years at sea she could not phone a local repair service to fix whatever was not working properly or even ask questions. Therefore, the crew had to be able to make repairs and do maintenance on their own. Each piece of equipment had a manual of operating procedures, maintenance, schematics and parts lists. All the administrative offices also relied on manuals to perform their functions. While not a machinery space the Supply Office, for example, lived by the guidelines and rules laid out in the BuSandA and NavComp manuals and the parts lists included in the FOCSL, COSAL, ERPAL and many other documents. Our friend Ed Zajkowski recently had the chance to view many of these old manuals and sent along some samples for you to enjoy.
