Bravo Division, one of the largest in the ship, maintains and operates the four huge boilers. The Division's main job is to produce steam, which first and foremost, drives the ship's main engines. The steam is also used to power the generators, which can produce enough electricity to meet the electrical needs of a small city. Heating is another by-product of the steam. Hardened by long hours of roasting in the hot boxes -especially in the tropics-the men of Bravo Division sometimes found themselves even busier in port, getting the boilers ready for the next operation. Fueling ship is also an important concern of these men, as they control the flow of black oil into and out of Bremerton's tanks. Keeping the four firerooms in clean working order are the petty officers in charge: Thompson, BTT5 Hnizdo, BTl 5 Revella, BTT 5 and Carney, BTT. FRONT ROW fleft to rightj: Reese, M.
