R DIVISION Division Roger is the repair plant of the Baltimore and is divided into three shops - metalsmith, carpenter, and pipe - staffed by the 58 men in the division. Should you see a bulkhead moving down the pas- sageway, don ' t be alarmed, for on the other side of it you always find some metalsmith moving it to a new location. If you see a welding arc, the man imder the hood will be a metalsmith. If, on an anvil, you find a piece of metal taking on new shape and design, the man behind the hammer will be a metalsmith. And the man who comes crawling out of a ventilation duct is a metalsmith who has been up in there to see that more air gets into your compartment. The carpenter shop is manned by damage control- men, firemen, and seaman strikers. In combat and all emergencies, their job saves lives, since the ship ' s water- tight integrity is their special baby, as is all firefighting and repair equipment. Their job goes beyond the ship itself - and every hberty party should note that they stay drj ' in their liberty boats because, at some time, a damage controlman has repaired a leak or caulked a seam. The DC man doubles as the ship ' s carpenter-artist, and anything from a tiled deck to an intricate picture frame is likely to be his handiwork. Pipefitters and strikers man the pipe shop. Although not too often observed, their jobs is one of obvious impor- tance. For you get that cold drink of water from the scuttlebutt and are able to take that navy shower largely because they maintain the pipe routes along which the water travels. Completing this H-0 cycle, they main- tain the hnes that carry the waste water overboard - and the lines that feed the fire-fighting equipment. The three shops join together in conning the anchor machinery when the sliip gets underway or drops the hook. Flight quarters for the Queen o ' the Med and the carry-all ' s mail trips are made possible because R Division is also a fueler. The mermaid-seeker might well run into an R Division man below the surface - for the ship ' s divers are recruited from her ranks. R Division works hard and plays hard - and has a division spirit that means cooperation and success. Helvey, McQueen. Lind, Heed. Diving lesson at St. Jean.
