A DIVI I0 Every Navy ship has a vast amount of equipment installed which does not come under the control of closely related Division. ln order to maintain these miscellaneous equipments, the navy has provided all her ships with an A division. On the Navarro, A division's responsibilities reach from the ship's Whistle to the steering engine, from the garbage grinder to the diesel oil purifier, from the laundry presses to the emergency fire pumps, from the galley equipment to the A, C, diesel generators, etc,etc,etc, needless to say there has to be a large variety of skills possessed by the men of A division to accomplish timely and lasting repairs. So that our division will have some semblance of organization, A division has been divided into three sub-groups, each one of these groups are made up of a Leading Petty Officer and a small number of men, who are in charge of specific pieces of equipment. Reinsmar, ENC and Biglow MMI are the leaders of the Reefer Gang . Their job is to keep 94 pieces of Refrigeration Equipment in good running order. The reefer gang also maintain the laundry equipment, the galley, soda fountain, and steam heating etc. These are some of their sidelines, Lee EN2, and his three men keep a steady flow of A.C. -electrical auxiliary equipment. They may be found in the A. C. diesel generator room, that's under the Supply Living Compartment, at almost any- time of the day or night. Mitchell, EN l, and his three men maintain the ships steering gear, emergency diesel fire pumps, portable fire pumps, emergency diesel generator, and the ship's vehicles, not much will be heard of these men until times of .emergency arise. Remember, when you take a cool drink of water, or eat a chilled salad with your sizzling grilled steak onthe air condition mess decks, A Division is fulfilling its role in todays modern navyg and we like it.
