The steam runs the evaporators, main engine and the ship ' s generator which provides all of the ships electrical power. Average temperatures of 120 degrees were endured by these engineers in order to provide these services for the DIXON, as well as the tended units. B Division is sometimes called the backbone of engineering. If they don ' t work, we don ' t go. |fch ' -1 % ILjj 9 16 mpMM ' m. ' 7mu Si lL. 4 Wm V -M mt : s M . m £M yys - - . . ■ fl

The DC Division on the DIXON has the job of ensuring that, if ever needed in an emergency, the fire fighting and damage control equipment on the ship is functioning. In addition, they have the job of handyman and general repair throughout the ship. The three workcenters who share these tasks are the general workshop, the C02 shop, and ER09, the shipwide damage control preventative maintenance shop. ■ t :
