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.

Dlll HE DIVISION on board the USS VVORCESTER has a ,very important part in the operation and maintenance of the ship in peace as well as in war. The division also plays a very important part in making the ship comfortable for the officers and crew. Virtually every piece of machinery and equipment is in someway connected with the electricians. The ventilation sets and air conditioning used in state rooms and living compart- ments, the scuttle butts, the lighting of the ship, intercom- munication throughout the ship, the ship's boats used to put the leave and liberty parties ashore, even the joe pots in the different spaces constitute part of the daily work of the Division. Underway the electrician's mates are responsible for the op- eration of the gyro compasses and their component parts that aid in navigation. They furnish electrical power for the en- gineroom and lireroom pumps, and power for the gunnery department to train, elevate and fire the ship's guns. They make the supply department's job easier by maintaining the numerous machines in the supply oflice, galley, butcher shop, etc., in top running order. The deck lorcfe also receives valua- ble assistance lirom the EASY Division through the electric deck winches, boat winches, the aviation crane and the an- chor windlass. The I. C. Gang insures that the alarms and other protective devices are at all times in proper working order so as to provide protection for the VVORCESTER and her crew. Xflfatches are stood by Division personnel in the steering gear room, on all main generators that are in operation the forward and after l.C. rooms and the electrical work shop so that they can keep a careful check to insure trouble free opera- tion of all electrical equipment. They also maintain and operate the motion picture equipment, both for training and entertainment films, and with the extensive training program now in progress on board, the Division is one of the bus- iest divisions on the ship. I If anyone can find something on board ship that the Elec- tricians haven't already a share in, name it, and we will do our best to become connected with it in some way. 'Qs' PE. A ir First Row: DI.
