The evaporators could never keep up with the demand for fresh water so
we were always on water hour rationing while underway. Taking a real

I'm surprised they didn't have reverse osmosis systems, wonder if that
has changed?

I doubt anyone had even heard of RO in the 60s. The ships we were on
were from WWII and I am sure they did not have RO then.



The DE's I was on were built in the mid 50's. They had conventional
evaporators. I don't know what the PG had. It was newer, build in the
late 60's and only had a compliment of 24.
