R Repair Division is made up of 60 row- dy, hard working sailors who proudly support Missouri ' s mission. We do the welding, sheetmetal fabrication, pipe fitting, stability, metallurgy, heat treat- ing of metals, hull cleanliness and re- pair, watertight integrity, run ship wide damage control training programs, maintain the drainage systems, the fire- main system, ballast system, which in- cludes over 400 voids, and sewage waste system. We spearhead firefighting, bat- tle damage repair, chemical, biological and radiological recovery and decon- tamination. Our watches are responsi- ble for security and any unusual hap- penings second deck and below. We strongly encourage that the best way to fight a fire is to prevent it and on the Around-the-World cruise, we ' ve had no fires. We take damage control seriously because you can ' t fire 16 inchers from 600 fathoms. HTl Snowden strikes an arc to begin a weld, fi Division maintains the repair lockers.
