Seems like a waste of manpower to have 8 full time machinists on stand by.
Pal, I will ask the man that runs the shops. He should be able to tell me as far as their ratings go.

I believe it was around 1974 that they took the SF (shipfitter rate) and changed it to HT (Hull Tech, turd chasers). For years the Navy also had ME (Metalsmiths), but when they did away with that rate, the ME's became SF's.
