The E Division, CHE standing for Electricity? is composed of the volt and amp boys of the Menifee and totals 19 men working under Ensign Mroz and Electrician Holder. The gang is divided into four groups to handle four widely different, but still electrical, jobs. l-loggard, Moore, Bennett and Quish of the l.C. gang handle the gyro- compass, battle phones, public address system, and other internal communica- tions of the ship. The Lighting gang, Bailey, Turpin, Fry, Eckert and Olson, have lights, fans and hot plates in their care. Next to the rnailmen, they're probably the most pestered men on the ship. Those vital fans, which mean the difference between sleep and no sleep, are never turned off on the Pacific. They don't stop till they burn out. Then it's the job of the Lighting gang to fix them, and, since no spare parts are available, they have to wind armatures and field coils, cut carbon brushes, and tool small brass parts. Hutcheson and Wiweke are the 'lBattery gang, whose arms are stretched long from toting heavy batteries up and down ladders and whose pants look as if they'd been caught in a mortar barrage as the result of acid action. Hutch and Wiweke are also responsible for the batteries and lights of the boats. Hnd, fourth, is the mighty Power gang. Carl, Michalak, Shocklee, Sheerer and Bernoll are the big kilowatt boys. They handle the big generators, the Meni- fee's primary source of electricity. limi .B i 69 t 4 l Q

Machinist's Mates, Water Tenders and Firemen constitute this division. Headed by our Chief Engineer, Lt. Comdr. Owens. Those fire eaters sweat it out day and night controlling the power of 8500 horses in the combination impulse reaction steam turbine that drives the Menifee. H constant watch of valves, engine gauges and controls are the routine duties of the personnel. Prepared for any emergency and constantly busy with maintenance and repair, the machinists are headed by Chief Hodges, the firemen by the genial Chief Castine, and the watertenders by Skou, WTlc. .,,,,,,x Working below decks in temperatures never less than 90, these men are not the envy of any open deck department, but are certainly respected for their part in making her go. lf Turkish baths are con- ducive of healthy bodies, these snipes should boast the physique of supermen. Equipped for refueling under any conditions, Smith, WT2c, the oil king, has directed each oper- ation in supplying the 300,000 gallon capacity tanks. Consuming oil at the rate of 530 gallons per hour under normal operating Speeds, the Menifee makes this a priority job at the beginning and end of each run.
