B DI VISION We in B Division were responsible for the 2 ships boilers with their associat- ed valves, pumps, piping, and fuel oil tanks and have worked constantly and feverously to keep the heart of WASHBURN steaming at maximum powergand efficiency. We worked in an environment that can be described with one word--HOT! Working the way we did in a place like that, with temperatures up to 140-160 degrees means only one thing: we were the most dedicated division on board. Cleaning the firesides of the boilers was just one of the jobs that we had to perform, and that had to be done every 600 hours of steaming for each boiler to insure its top performance. We first had to secure the boiler and let it cool a bit, then open it up, Next a BODY had to crawl into the boiler through a hole where we had taken out a burner and go to work cleaning all the tubes inside. 55 t i Y-- i Standing: BTC Pearrow, Hagan, M,A,, Lee, J,B,, Marsh, A,L,, .-xkar, L..-N., I-'lori BTI, ENS Garrett.

We in B Division were also responsible for all the fuel oil on board, being delivered on board or being given to someone else. Refueling at sea with AO's was about the only way we got fuel and we averaged 1 Lmrep every 13 days during May, June and July. Under the leadership of our Division Officer Ens. Garrett, the supervision of Chief Boiler- men Pearrow and the constant harassment of that old bald eagle , Boilerman First Class Flori, the heart of WASHBURN operated the entire cruise without missing a beat!
