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

Its tasks are many and varied and is composed of com- missary, ship ' s service, storekeeping, stewards, medi- cal and disbursing. How ' s that cold coming along? Our small, but well equipped sickbay, provides treatment for com- mon aches and pains and for all emergencies. If you want to make out an allotment, a disbursing clerk at the supply office takes care of you. Besides payday, there ' s nothing like chowdown to get the crew up and around. Few give any atten- tion to the amount of preparation that goes into their meals; the planned, well-balanced diets of the week- ly menu. It is no small task to care for the needs of a small city such as the MARSHALL. The galley is con- stantly in operation, as is the washing machine and everyone knows that the barber is kept snipping regularly also. So next time you need a friend, check the S Division and you will be well taken care of. 21
