'!!!!! Aboard the USS. WISCONSIN you will find a group of men collectively referred to as M Division. Actually' these men have the job of operating and maintaining the main engines and shipls power and lights. It is a big job but to these Machinistis Mates, more commonly known as uSnipes, it is every day routine. Each and every man in M Division has a job to do on the many watches that he will stand every day. He has no questions about what the U. S. Navy or his shipniates expect of him. but goes to his duties knowing the 4'How,', 4'When,77 and 4'Where of his space. Just to give you an idea of the daily routine in thc engine room letis take you to at couple of the engine rooms. .Xs we are now on the main deck we will have to go far into the bowels of the ship before we even get into the domain of the whining turbines. So we will go down one ladder to the second deck and then another ladder to Broadway. Here on Broadway' we have a choice of any of four engine rooms to inves- tigate. Since we are at the alter end of this famed passage letis go down to number four engine room first. just follow nic down the ladder into the space that contains only part of the machinery' and men ol' Nl lliyision.
