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?

ya M DIVISICDN The main propulsion division is composed of Machinist Mates and Machinery Repairmen. The Machinist Mates are responsible for the maintenance, repair and operation of the ship's propulsion turbines, condensers, turbo generators shafting, bearings and all the auxiliary pumps and piping to the main turbines. The maintenance on this long list of Vital equipment kept the division busy full time. The Machinery Repairmen operate the lathes, drill presses, and other machine shop equipment. They are kept busy manufacturing parts as necessary to repair the ma- chinery throughout the ship. With parts few and far be- tween, they had their Work cut out for them.
