J , ENC MORENO A DIVISION The men of A-Gang, the auxiliary division, are respon- sible for the maintenance, repair and operation of the ship's seventeen landing craft engines. Additionally they maintain the emergency generator. emergency fire pumps, evaporator ENCS F URR EN1 RAY distilling plant. and the ship's air conditioning and refrigera- tion units. Despite numerous breakdowns the evaporator put out over six million gallons of fresh and feed pump water. The many ships air conditioners Were another big headache for the ambitious men of A-Gang. The cruise would have been a lot more enjoyable if the particularly troublesome air con- ditioners in Officers' Country and Second Division had only been a bit more co-operative. All agreed?

The boilers pro- vide steam for the main engines, turbo generators, the galley, the heating system and the laundry. The cruise was a series of long watches for the BT's, with both boilers lit off most of the time under- way and one on the line in port. In port, liberty call was always second-first was the job of cleaning firesides. This consists of manually scraping down the tubes of built up carbon. The BT's had to do this more than once-just ask them! But the boiler kept putting out power, enough to drive the Dandy's Sandy generators 17,763 miles over the five month trip, despite losing the load several times. And the first breakdown on the turbo-feed pumps was bad, but did it HAVE to happen a second time?
