IVISION Things electrical fall under the purview of E Dln'atos a group whose expertise ranges from install- ingfllmploswitchea tofmalntainmg the ship s highly complex network of win! Because of the nature of their work, the division is necessarily manned by individuals of exceptionally high caliber, with backgrounds in mathematics and physics. If it's electric, E Division can fix it! M DIVISION - You might call them- 'prime movers be- cause they maintain the piping, pumps of the condensate and feed systems, bearings, propellers, reduction gears, and gas turbines - all necessary to propel the SPRUANCE to and from her duty assignments. When it comes to engineering excellence, the 'prime movers of M Division are the best. R DIVISION - To call them Jacks of all Trades would be, in this case, exactly correct and proper, because the versatile men of R Division are carpenters, sheet metal workers, vvelders, pipe litters, and damage control men. Working as a smoothly coordinated team they maintain all damage control equipment, handle all plumbing chores in SPRUANCE's heads, and do just about anything else that needs to be done. 4
