Boiler Technicians QBTJ, respected throughout the Naval service for over a century, kept the ship mov- ing through the water by supplying steam to turn the ship's propellers. Working in a harsh environment with unseen dangers such as steam pressures up to 1200 PSI, l3T's routinely ran various pumps, blowers, and auxiliary equipment that sustained boilers on the line. Keeping fire in the box, water in the glass, and steam in the pipes, was the life, motto, and strength of the BT's. , eo BT2 Ringlein inspects the inside of a boiler BT2 Kenneth Loveless BT2 Christopher Flinglein

E DIVISION EMC Arnold Holmes EM2 Jim Lyons Electrical power to the ship and the crew was the responsi- bility of Electrical Division. Affectionately called Sparky, the electricians worked in all corners of the ship to provide power for the operation of equipment from radars and guns to bunk lights and the popcorn machine. Their presence was most noticeable when the friendship lights were strung across the top of the ship. Also for the first time in the ship's history, the electricians were not required to show the evening movie, a function outdated by the develop- ment of videocassettes and site TV. Although few thought of the work they did, the Electrician's Mates did well in any task assigned to keep the fans turning and the lights on. s x ,E M m x ..
