    Two side-by-side images depicting naval vessel control rooms or engine rooms at different time periods. The left image shows a modern color photograph of a sailor seated in front of an extensive panel of gauges and instruments. The right image is a black-and-white photograph showing multiple crew members working at a similar but older-era control console.

    Ensign Orgill mans engineering aboard the USCGC Morgenthau (USCGC 722) during a fianl Bering Sea Patrol in January 2017. After more than four decades Morgenthau was decommissioned in April. "It has been an amazing experience. The beginning of my career is the end of the Morgenthau's. As a student engineer I'm particularly happy I got this experience. New ship's are vastly more automated than a '378. There is no mouse click that will turn a valve here, but that's good. It has forced me to learn hands on, get in the bilges and turn wrenches. WMSLs and OPCs are our future, but I'm certainly glad I got started here." -- Ensign Matt Orgill (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Ensign Brandon Newman/Released, Historical image circa 1970)
