Q KNFXX. LCDR R. G. Hamaker Engineering Officer THE HEART OF THE SHIP is the Engineering Department. It sup- plies the life blood to all of the other spaces and departments in the form of steam, electrical power, fresh water, compressed air, air conditioning, and interior communications, as well as pro- viding the propulsive power to move the ship through the water. It also provides the expertise in the areas of firefighting and dam- age control. To do this, the de- partment is divided into three divisions, each with its own area of responsibility and consisting of personnel with the varied tal- ents and skills required to ac- complish each of the assigned tasks. M and B Division, composed of Machinist Mates and Boilermen is responsible for the boilers and main engines which generate the steam and propel the ship. Men of M and B Division also operate the evaporators which produce fresh and feed water and steam turbines which drive the electrical genera tors and air compressors which supply compressed air to many areas of the ship. E Division consists of Electri- cians Mates and Interior Com- munications Electricians who operate and maintain electrical general equipment and distribu- tion systems, ships service tele- phones, announcing systems and the ship's gyro-compasses and repeaters. R Division is comprised of Ship- fitters, Damage Controlmen, En- ginemen, Machinist Mates and Machinery Repairmen. They per- form such varied tasks as opera- tion and maintenance of diesel engines, boats, gas turbines, deck machinery, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, com- pressed air distribution systems, sanitary systems, and damage control equipment. R Division personnel accomplish almost any type of machinery or structural repair required by any other de- partments aboard ship.
