The Metalsmiths, Pipefitters, Electrician Mates, IC Electrician Mates, Damage Controlmen and Machinist Mates who man this division had a special responsibility onthe world cruise of keep'- ing the ship in battle trim. Maintenance and repair of ship's ventilation, drainage, communi- cation and electrical systems, and sundry mis- cellaneous repairs were under their cognizance. In addition, the task of damage control, an especially important one because of the ever pre- sent danger of enemy attack, was still another job they. had to be ready to assume at a moment's notice. Repair facilities of larger ships were available for only limited periods and the ship steamed many miles between visits to ports, but in spite of this handicap, the R Division per- formed an outstanding job.

Composed of both Radarmen and Elect- ,' N X ronic Technicians whose habitats are CIC, the elect- '3 N W ronic workshop, and the O division living com- : ,A M 'nd' partment, they could be called the white collar 4, sq 'J I- . . workers of the ship. It was they who aided the Of- 'Pf -.Lv l' ficer of the Deck in formation maneuvers and who Q gathered infomation pertinent to impending opera- Wfffh tions throughout the cruise. It was they who stood ' ' ,f .' f fl- it ready to deliver accurate shore bombardment inform- ' , ,fl Q Q' ation should the occasion have arisen and who tracked ' X ' unknown planes and ships in search forthe enemy. X - .r Q- Their training paid off when the Lake Champlain had J 4 a downed plane and thruCIC tracking the Moale was ' - 9 able to rescue the downed aviators in a matter of minutes. Special credit belongs also to the Elect- I W ronics personnel who kept our radars and radios func- tioning throughout the cruise without a single break- down that was not immediately repaired. 1 D A ' 'ti' i i.irfi'1,4.:g1i ' H'-1-- '-- -V'----J - - -
