CWO C. Wood The canvas shop is what was once known as the Sail Loft. It is equipped to handle any and all canvas work, as well as the shipboard upholstery work of leather and leatherette. The pipe shop handles repairing and or replacement of oil, fresh and salt water, steam, air, and diesel fuel oil lines. New installations are laid out from blueprints and drawings, while lines to be repaired or replaced are set up with targets to insure accurate duplications of the line. The sheet metal shop can accomplish a myriad of tasks involving the fabri- cation of objects using relatively light guage metals. They prepare such pieces as ducts, lockers, pyrotechnic gear lockers, copper fuel tanks, strainers for flushing and cooling systems and other such items. The shipfitter shop is actually two shops in one. The shipfitter shop can perform repairs to the ships hull as well as repair water tight doors and fittings. The weld shop can build and weld cracks in casting, valves and shafts. The pattern shop makes exact models of parts from wood, which are used by the foundry to make castings. The carpenter shop does all types of woodwork including repairing boats, ladders, deck gratings and even laying linoleum. Crook, V. H. DCC Stewart, J. L. SFC % %m Bernard, R. Kelm, W. J. Hough, T. J.
