M DI VISIO The men ofM Division, sometimes called Snipes, keep the PINE ISLAND underway. Twenty-four hours a day the steam made in the firerooms drives generators to light the ship, run auxiliary machinery, and furnish many of the comforts often taken for granted. The enginerooms are truly the source of the ship's lifeblood. In order to keep the machinery operating efficiently, the men ofM Division are engaged daily in standing auxiliary Watches and re- pairing and cleaning in the two enginerooms and firerooms. All-in-all, the job of keeping the ship alive is a complex problem requiring the services of men Working in hot spaces, practicing specialized rates, Row One: Flores,D,T, MM3. P' 1 , .

R DIVI I0 R Division is made up of two basic rates: damage controlmen and shipfitters. They are the men who are in charge of the repair lockers, damage control shop, carpenter shop, shipfitter shop, damage control central, CO2 shop and all fire fighting equipment. The shipfitters can perform most any task in their field from annealing copper gaskets to repairing hull plating. They can also perform duties similar to those of a plumber, however the piping with which they must work is much more complex than that with which most plumbers would work, The damage controlmen repair compart- ments for water tight integrity, and keep the Ship's fire fighting equipment in good con- dition, They also work in the carpenter shop, The primary work of R Division is the repair and maintenance of the hull and supey- structure of the ship. Itis not uncommon to see the men of R Division working late at night, since repair and maintenance is a twenty-four hour job for them, ROW 01162 LOHQICOY, L.i. MM3g P ' E A Wolford, D.W.
