DIVI I0 HE B DlX'lSltJN consists of 85 ofhcers and men responsible for the four boilers and all machinery in the four Iirerooms. In addition, the division is responsible for all fuel oil, diesel oil, feed and fresh water within the engineering spaces. The four boilers aboard the YVORCESTER are each capable of producing 600 pounds pressure per square inch steam pres- sure. The auxiliary machinery in each hreroom consists of Turbo-Generators, Main Feed Pumps, Forced Draft Blowers, Fuel Oil Service Pumps, Fuel oil heaters, and fire and flushing pumps. Another activity of the B Division is the Oil and lfVater Testing Laboratory. The laboratory is equipped to conduct Chemical analysis of all potable and reserve feed water and oils used aboard ship. The laboratory detail is also responsible for fueling this and other ships and for the transfer of fuel oil within the ship. The transfer and stowage of all potable and reserve feed water is another of their responsibilities. The smoke generator is manned by B Division personnel. This generator is capable of producing a heavy smoke screen thru the combustion of various fuels. The Division is made up of Boilerman, Machinest's Mates and Fireman, all trained, or in training, for the primary job of producing the steam which is used by other divisions of this ship for propulsion, heating, the production of electrical power, water, and preparation of food and many other serv- ices easily taken for granted because they are so readily available.

DI I I0 HE M , OR NIORE coMMoNEY CALLED MIKE Division makes its headquarters in the forward and alter enginerooms, with a small contingent in the after evaporator room. The M Division has charge of the operation and upkeep of the main engines and reduction gears. This also includes all pumps, ejectors, condensers, other auxiliary machinery and the piping systems necessary to make the main engines tick. The M Division controls more kinetic energy than any other division aboard ship. This enormous amount of power will move this 18,000 ton monster at speeds in excess of 30 knots. All Water used for drinking, cooking, washing, and boiler feed is made by the M Division evaporators. It is no small I I task to provide Wlllel loi l,fillll nn-n plns IS Dixision's gully ing' boilers which IGIILK' lllll gallons :il ai sip. At present there :ire 523 nn-n in NI Division who are ma- ehinist's mates or lnenien striking loi in:ichinist's mate. T0 them the M Division stands loi the NIOS'l ' inipoi-tam division aboard ship. Many ol these men hzixe been on Lhg ship since commissioning :ind are extremely well qnalilied, Frequent engineering drills :nee held lor indocnination ol new members and experience lor old. These drills have made the teamwork ol' Ill Division outstanding and it assured that in the luture, M Division will keep the propellers turning. First How: Vlillium ll. Hug- ler, FN: Melvin G.
