The main propulsion boilers can be con- sidered the heart of the ship, for with- out the steam to push her through the deep blue and to deliver fuel whenever and wherever called upon, the ship would not fulfill her mission. These two 600 psi boilers supply steam to Neosho's main propulsion plant, deck machinery, and various auxiliary purposes throughout the ship. During this deployment, it is significant that at least one of these boilers has been on the line almost constantly. Through lots of hard work, long hours, and atten tiveness to watchstanding duties, HBH Division has enabled Neosho to fulfill her vital mission as a fleet oiler. HBH Division's fuel and water kings are also responsible for supplying the ship's fresh water requirements and en- suring the fresh water received in for- eign ports is treated to make it safe for use onboard ship. HBH Division plays a very vital role as part of the team required to man a ship and make it ready for sea. ?W.'l . lf' Boiler Technician CBD -w QM ' mga 247 - V WW Q 'Q Wa ZW?
