Midway (CVA 41) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 148 text:

Lt Baird ' s industrious men of A Division form a large cog in the well-oiled wheel that is the Engineering Department. Their responsibility is wide spread, and the results of their work is felt by all hands. Fresh water, air conditioning, steam heat - all produced by the technicians from deep in the heart of the ship. The massive elevators hustling airplanes to and from the flight deck draw their power from A ' s hydraulic crew. Diesel generators, pumps, compressors, and engines are serviced by the diesel gang, and around the clock surveil- lance of the complex battery of dials and gauges ensures top notch performance when it ' s needed.

MIDWAY has twelve boilers in her four engine rooms. Power produced is equivalent to that of 140 locomotives, and electrical power generated could service a population of over one million people. Such awesome statistics as these are taken for granted by the B Division boilermen in the daily routine of their jobs, but the importance of their task is never forgotten. In an average steaming day, 100,000 gallons of fuel oil must be fed to the thirsty boilers, and accurate logs and records provide an up to date picture of the fuel supply for the daily reports. Ltjg Vince Medugno has over 250 men under his direc- tion, and this, the largest of MIDWAY ' S divisions, is probably the most important group of men aboard ship. They get MIDWAY where she ' s going firstest with the mostest. FRONT ROW: Beadle, Weber, Ball, Lavender, Hunt, Faldet, Cote, Hoffpauir, Muniz, Jamison, Jungbluth.
