Also we have a lesser amount of auxiliary B Division-B for boilers, that isl Did you ever wonder whatls on the lower end of those two big stacks amidships? Well, there are eight big fuel-oil-hungry giants. Sure, they make a little smoke once a while, but thatls to be expected. We of the boiler gang have a lot more to do than merely feed oil to these boilers, they require a tre- mendous amount ol air and water also. We operate the 24 screaming blowers that supply air to the equipment which must be maintained. ln our spare time we tear down the boilers for cleaning firesides, replacing brickwork and a number of other reasons. Then there is always painting to be accomplished. The bilges alone requires about 160 gallons for one Fnoxi' Row: T. J. McKinney. L. C. MacDougall, J. R. Freeland, K. D. Keller, T. R. Morgan, J. J.

coat. All of this is the reason why B Divisionis 190 boilermen and n1achinist's mates are the hardest- working, smoothest team on the ship. Teamwork is one of the most important factors in boiler opera- tion and if you donit think we have it, just let me ask you a question. Did you ever see one of our boilers sitting on the main deck? Well, that's what would happen if we didn't have it. Letis take a walk down to the depths of the ship. down to the mighty boilers and the blackface gang. The roar and the din is deafening, but above it all can be heard the thunderous voice of Bruce Slawson. the Monarch of Number One Fireroom, speaking Never- so-gentlyn to his troops, 'gFinish those bilges or find a home in them. Pumps, pumps, pumps, there must be a million on the Wiscy.', The pump experts are lim Powell and Donnie Brown, who never seem to outguess the eccen- tricities of the pumps. The work never ends, but some- how they manage to keep the pumps going. Close by in Number Two Fireroom at almost any hour of the day fprovided they are on watchfl Pop Hoxworth and Willis Hager can be found giving the B Division boys a few ideas and pointers on the prop- er maintenance and operation of the ship's propulsion gear. One Fireroom is pretty much like any other fire- room, so, letis move on to the Oil Kingis shack. Now we are in the realm of Chief Ball and Al Vardaro. They spend hours each day trying to calculate where the ship's water is being used, and, also, wondering what they will say if the Chief Engineer wants the water report before they are able to locate that miss- ing ten thousand gallons. The Oil King shack is a favorite hangout for the division because of the quality of the coffee served there. As a matter of fact. if someone wants one of the boys in B Division, it would be wise to start looking at the Oil King's Shack. Every division has a Police Petty Officer. We have Bill Hellmann tit is really his namel. In addition to performing all the duties of PPO he can sound like a fog horn-at least that is what we think each morn- ing when he sweetly bellows 'SAll right youse guys, hit the deck.'7 waving a dog wrench all the while just to show us he means business. The uCripe Lockern 1. otherwise known as the B Division Oflicel is another point of interest. Here rules Chief Soliday whose primary duty is making up the watch list . . . it's been like that since '52. When we get in a pinch and have to have early or special liberty, he always goes to bat for us. You might call our office a forum of sorts because all complaints and what not eventually end up there for settlement. Well, l guess that ends our tour of the B Divi- sion spaces so as you all can see, it's a well molded group of men we have in B Division and the team- work that has developed since we have been in com- mission has paid off. Underway you can find at least -L0 of us on watch at any time in places ranging from the 011 level to the lower level of the firerooms, but in port when liberty call goes you can see us on the quarterdeck along with the rest of the crew. fa 55. l fm ' 'FW it ffl 'J l lil l .
