Those are the names frequently used to describe the men of A Divi- sion. These men are the Fixit guys ofthe ship, having lu deal with all sorts of machinery from the anchor xvindlass forward to the steering gear aft. and from the depths ofthe ship to the t.op of the highest radar wave guide. All this machinery is maintained by three individual groups of men who function as a whole. First. are the men responsi- ble forthe crew's comfort in the summer lair conditioningi and all the refrigeration units onboard. These men are also tasked with the dry air units for the radars. Second. are the men designated to repair and maintain the various ship's small boats. the emergency diesel generators. and the helo refueling machinery. Lastly. are the men respon- sible for all the ships hydraulic systems. air systems, stores conveyors, and whatever other machinery that is not claimed by any ot.her division onboard. The men of to- day's Auxiliary Division are a tough breed capable of mak- ing any repairs with minimal parts or time. If the men of A Division cannot fix it, it surely isn't. broke. The ratings that comprise A-Gang are Machinist Mates and Engine- man. 14 imc .in caaarmzs mic .1.r-3. Msaalvr MMI N.E. COUNCILMAN EN1 R.G. EBERT
