M0 There is really very little the R Division is not called on to do in keeping the MARSHALL mechanically shipshape. Operating movies, replacing fuses and controlling damage inflicted upon the ship are only a few of the varied R Division jobs. The electrical group is divided into the Electricians and the I.C. Electricians. The electricians are responsible for upkeep of all motors, generators, and elec- trical power distribution systems on the ship. The I.C. Electrician maintains the sound systems aboard while always keeping an eye on the gyro and the DRT. In the auxiliary group there is one Machinist Mate and One Engineman. To these two men fall such duties as maintaining the boat engines, the reefer cooling system and emergency fire fighting pumps. The third group making up the R Division is the Shipfitters. Here we have Pipefitters, Metalsmiths and Damage Controlmen. Pipefitters are con- cerned with all hull piping systems. The Metalsmith has his problem with the ship ' s ventilation and drainage systems. In his spare time he makes up rack chains and fixes lockers for the new boot who just reported aboard. The Damage Controlman supervises effective fire fighting procedures and are the specialists in chemical warfare and atomic defense. 19
