HEN the Lucky Ladyl' receives orders to get under- way, the M Division goes to work. In the engine rooms the lube oil is started in circulation, the condensers are brought into action to increase the vacuum, and then the turbines are warmed up. Pumps are put on the line and soon the main engines are ready to be tested. In addition to operation, the repair and cleanliness of eight main propulsion turbines, four main reduction gears, eight air ejectors, one diesel generator, forty-four pumps, and numerous coolers, heaters, fans, pipe lines, and tanks are the personal responsibilities of the men of this division. A record of more than 223,000 miles of steaming without yard overhaul or tender avail- ability indicates the great care given the propulsion machinery by the men of the Mike Division, notwith- standing almost insurmountable difficulties in regard to extreme heat and Working space. , Qi NJ X ff, v i Ln.. - 'alikuf .X 1,-7? as I e 1 , i p K gif N 'ft gif,
