E GI EERI G B DIVISION R. L. SELMAN BT1 MENOMONEE FALLS, WI P. A. WHEELER BTFA ASHLAND, KY I 20 R. G. ALLEN BT2 , PHILADELPHIA, PA D. V. ANCHETA BTFN HONOLULU, HA The men of B Division aboard PHARRIS are responsible for providing the main ingredient to a conventional steam powered ship: super heated steam. Although there are many important pieces of equipment on board ship, the mechanical heart of the ship is the two 1200 psi boilers. The boilers take feed water and convert it to super heated steam for such use as propelling the ship through the watenvays of the world, driving the three steam driven electrical generators, which produce the electrical power to operate every- thing from complex radar and navigation system to personal radios and, pro- viding the heat source to the ship's evaporators, enabling us to produce fresh water for drinking, cooking and, ofcourse, showers. LT Cushanick works with a group of capable officers and chiefs. The Main Propulsion Assistant is LTJG Bames. MMC Loven and BTC Harper supervise the daily operation of B Divi- sion. The BT's work in one of the harshest environments aboard ship - the main machinery spaces, where the averagetemperature is above 950, the humidity is thick and muggy and the work days are long and hard.

The lVlachinist's Mates of M Division provide the propulsion . and much more. The MM's take the steam from the boilers and send it through two steam turbine engines, capable of producing 56,009 shaft horsepower. In Main Control, the nerve center of Engineering, the lVllVl's coordinate all engineering evolutions and monitor status of various system. The main task, however, is to take ship's Speed orders from the bridge and then tum the screw . . . anywhere from zero to 155 rpm's . . . which will move the ship at any desired speed, be it 5 knots, 10 knots, 20 knots or in excess of 27 knots. Addition- ally, the lVlM's service the steam turbines giving us electricity, and the fire pumps. R R. M. Atsron w. A. ARDOIN R. J.
