7 X Yup, we're lit off, Our work is far from easy and our hours are ! far from short, for the sun we rarely see. Our 1 working spaces are in the glare of hot lights, the roaring of whirling, whining machinery and the extreme temperatures of the fireroom. Ours is a distinctive group who have worked with pride and zeal throughout this cruise. This is underlined by the fact that we never missed a commitment. Front Row l to r: MM2 L, M.

The MARKAB is much more than a floating factory. The ship is the home for more than six hundred men: f improving habitability and insuring personnel safety i is the function of RC Division. Preventing casualties, 1 shipboard fires, and preserving water tight integrity, - 1 are a few of the jobs tackled by the Damage Control- l men. Water tight fittings, fire equipment, Nuclear, 2 Biological and Chemical detection gear are but five of the many different safety devices which the DC Shop services. The knowledge that the crew can sleep 1 soundly at night is the personal reward earned by the DC men. The Shipfitters make up the remainder of the RC Division. The Shipfitters and their tool 8: welding rods and torches, maintain the ship's hull and piping A systems when they show their age. No matter how big the job, from a split seam to a leaky faucet, the Ship- fitters are the ones who will fix it to perfection.
