BTFN MARK- Boiler Tenders have been a part of the Navy as far back as 1814, when the Navy ' s first harbor defense vessel was built for New York Harbor. Since that day the responsibilities of the Boiler Tenders have increased in complexity and importance. The BENNER, weighing 3,470 tons has four boilers which will provide enough steam to the main engines to propel her at speeds in excess of 31 knots. The boilermen also known as Snipes , have the additional responsibility of manufacturing steam for the galley, laundry, scullery and all the heating needs of the crew. It takes constant maintenance to keep the BENNER ' s four boilers in commission along with all the associated equipment and pumps. This invol ves arduous tasks ranging from the cleaning of bilges to correcting for black smoke. The BT ' s job is never really completed but no matter how hot or humid it may get, the BT ' s don ' t let it dampen their spirits. The firerooms are manned 24 hours a day, while the men of B Division carry on their tasks with precision and pride in the service they are rendering their ship.
