E DIVISION On 16 July it began. The number 1 appeared inconspicuously at the bottom of the Plan Of The Day, Each day that followed a progres- sively higher number appeared, until on the ninth day the letters RIP replaced the now familiar yet still mysterious digit. But for us in E Division there was no mys- tery. We knew that each number represented a new endurance record for the 4,000 gallons per day evaporators, and the appear- ance of Rest in Peace indicated that the battle to keep them run- ning had been temporarily lost! This is the Way it was for us from one piece of machinery to the next. Our battles were foughtbelow decks and above decks to keep some very old, but necessary electrical machinery working.

two armatures and rebuilding the motors was the problem solved. It looked for awhile like we would have all the winch motors on board involved before we were through. When SOPA Hong Kong decided we had to rig dress ship lights, we had more problems and thought for sure less liberty. But it wasn't so, for Electrician Mate Second Class Belile had missed out on a particular purchase he wanted to make on our first trip to Hong Kong and was determined to get over on the beach and buy it this time. To do so, he qualified Mr. Nelson as a colored light checker and together they checked out that great string of Christmas tree like lights and soon had the ship lined with 595 watt bulbs. As well as the electricians, the interior communications men played a vital role in the make up E Division.
