Washburn

Lieutenant Washburn was a 23rd century Starfleet sciences division officer serving aboard the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk.

In 2267, Washburn was part of the damage control party that transported aboard the USS Constellation, after it had been found disabled by the planet killer.

Once aboard, he reported that the atmospheric pressure aboard the Constellation was at 11 pounds per square inch. Washburn then joined Montgomery Scott, Elliott and Russ to Main Engineering to check and see if the ship's phaser banks had been fired.

Upon reaching Engineering, Washburn, Elliott and Russ, ran a complete structural and control damage check, while Scotty checked out the engines. At completion of the analysis, Washburn returned to auxiliary control to report the damage control party's findings to Scott and Kirk.

Later, when the Enterprise was attacked by the planet killer, the damage control party became stranded aboard the Constellation, when the Enterprise's transporters went down. Washburn was originally requested by Scott to assist him in "coaxing" the impulse engines back into service to give the ship some maneuverability, but at the last minute he was snagged by Kirk to assist him with getting the viewing screen back into operation. After repairing the viewing screen, Kirk ordered Washburn to return to Engineering to assist Scott in completing repairs he was originally asked by Scott to assist with.

Once repairs to the Enterprise's transporters were complete, Washburn, Russ and Elliott returned to their ship, while Scott and Kirk stayed behind to rig the Constellation for destruction within the planet killer. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine")

Washburn was played by Richard Compton and named after assistant director Charles Washburn.
