A GUNGH HISTORY Auxiliaries Division consists of the enginemen and machinists mates who maintain and repair all diesel engines, air condition- ing units, winches. hatch covers, forklifts, and steering units. The division is led by LTJG Buckley and supervised by ENCS Kramer. The equipment amigned to A GANG is divided up into four workcenters. The dieselmen of EAO2 are led by ENI Acteson and they supply electrical power from two GM 12-645 diesel engines. ln addition, the workcenter stores and trans- fers JP-5 fuel used by the ship's assault craft and by helicopters. EA04, the air conditioning and refrigeration lACSgRJ gang, is headed up by MMC Fesmire. They oversee a myriad array of gear in addition to the AC 81 R units. This includes all cargo handling gear, forklifts, laundry equipment, heating and ventilation systems, galley equipment, steering units, etc. The men of this workcenter are a busy, hardworking lot. ENI Allman directs EA07, the boat shop, and is responsible for the maintenance and repairs of the ship's twelve assault craft and boats. These sea going engi- neers go with their boats during all amphibious operations to ensure the diesels are running at their best. The machinery repairmen of EA09 are led by MRI Camposanto and oper- ate out of the machinery repair shop. Using precision metal lathes and milling machines, they are capable of reproducing machine parts which may not be carried on board by the Supply Department. Throughout USS ST. LOUIS' forward deployment, A GANG has been an aggressive, hard-working crew keeping all their equipment running in the best of shape-the standard of success of any engineer. They have a lot to be proud of and justly so! Y 'r :Nh . 8 . i' 'i 7 N2 ' - ' , f 5:15 . N , .'-- ': ' 'sv' ' Lx- . --,.1. NY -h -Meg at 5' 'atb-.X X75 .' 'Q ' ,U s 59 I- MSL fs.
