MP Division JVll Di ision IS comprised of Gas Turbine Technicians Mechanical and Electrical. The GSMs maintain BARRY ' s four LM 2500 gas turbine engines for main propulsion and three Allison 501 gas turbine generators that produce electricity. In addition to the gas turbines, GSMs operate and repair shafting, reduction gear, fuel oil and lubrication oil storage and service systems, low pressure air compressors, and the intake exhaust+system. The GSEs perform PMS and repair all electrical components of the above systems and the consoles that regu- late them. GSEs maintain the entire propulsion plants ' s complex circuitry, electrical interfaces and sensors that monitor remotely operated valves and pumps. R Division 1 Division is comprised of Hull Technicians, Damage Controlmen, and Machinery Repairmen. While all three rates share the responsibility for maintaining BARRY ' s installed fire fighting and chemical biological protec- tion equipment (CPS, AFFF, firemain, and Halon) each rate has specific skills which contributes to the division. HTs weld and braze fixtures for the hull and other equipment, MRs use the ship ' s lathe to manufacture bolts and small mechanical components, and DC personnel repair and manage all fixed firefighting equipment. Everyone in R division helps train the entire ship in Damage Control-the most important role of all! 22 USS Barry

ED ivision Maintaining electrical distribution throughout the ship is the job of the Electrician ' s Mates. They perform PMS and corrective maintenance on: switchboards, power panels, electric motors, battery chargers, motor-operated valves, galley equipment, lighting, and degaussing systems. In addition, they train all personnel in electrical safety. The EM ' s also conduct safety checks and maintain a database of all personal electronic gear brought on the ship. AD ivision The Enginemen of A-Gang are responsible for many of the mission critical systems in BARRY. Air conditioning, high air and dehydrators. Vapor Compression Distillers, potable and chill water systems, steering gear, capstan and anchor windlass controls, and refrigeration are just a few of the systems that A-Gang maintains and repairs. If it ' s not electrical, and it ' s not main propulsion-it ' s A-Gang! 21
