The spirit with which R Division assumes this essential function is embodied in its motto, lf we can't fix it, it ain't broke. Pipe and metal work, in- cluding arc and oxyacetyline welding, brazing, and cutting is done in the Ship Fitter's Shop, Woodworking and finishing, in addition to normal damage control functions such as maintenance of firefighting equipment, ABC gear, and upkeep of repair lockers is handled by the damage controlmen in the Carpenter Shop. When R Division isn't patching something it is manning the ballasting operation. Every time a small boat of one kind or another enters our well-deck, it is first necessary to ballast down, allowing the sea to inundate the after half of the ship. Once the craft is within the well-deck, R Division ' 'ballasts up, grounding out the Cfflll to facilitate unloading or transporting. Needless to say, before the craft can leave the well-deck, it is Ugflln necessary to ballast down. In the hundreds of time s R Division has performed this operation so essential to the I ship's amphibious mission, not once has it lost control and sunk the ship!

The Division's base at operations is the boat shop where there are sufficient facilities to completely 0V9fl1UUl and test virtually any diesel engine.
