B Division f gg, Q f f, 'W ff'f B Division is one of the four divisions that make up the Black Gangn' better known on MAURY as the Snipe Department. Lead by the Main Propulsion Assistant, Mas, ter Chief Tucker, the twenty-one men of B Division are responsible for the operation maintenance, and repair of the ship's boilers, and associated auxiliary equipment. In agi- dition they are responsible for replenishment, storage, and burning of nearly a half mi11' gallons of fuel oil, making chemical tests on feed water and minor fuel oil tests and ana- lyses. B Division has always been a natural enemy of the Deck Department because ' the soot from the Boiler tubes fouls up their topside cleaning stations, and an occasional drop or two of oil may dirty the ship's sides. Even though many gripes are heard, the ' Department, as well as the rest of the ship, realizes that without the B Division - MAURY's mission could never be carried out, for they furnish the power necessary to op- QQ erate all the equipment aboard the ship. The boilers are considered the heart of MAURY, MASTER CHIEF O.W.

E D 'vision The electrical magicians Of MAURY HFC the men from E Division. These 16 men under the able guidance of ENS. Brawley and Mr. Powell are con- ,,,, ,, ,mm stantly kept busy standing throttle watches, re- ' winding motors, chasing grounds, repairing gee-dunk QR machines and the air-conditioners. With Chief Car- roll leading the way the EM's are responsible for the generation and distribution of all electrical pow er on the ship. The many generators under their cog- nizance produced overf25 million kilo-watt hours A f during the cruise with no electricity bills sent out. Another important aspect of E Division is theI.C gang with leading trouble shooter Sobczak, IC2, in chargeg these men are responsible for the telephone and general announcing systems, pit log, gyro com- passes and various other aids to navigation. In ad- dition they present only the best movies avail- able ... Movies that the late, late show didn't want. Yes this merry group of men from E Division had a great deal to do with making MAURY a safe and powerful ship while lighting her way through the E - dark waters of the Gulf of Siam.
