n The mission of the A Division of the A gang as they are usually called, is the care and maintainence of all the ship ' s auxiliary equipment. Their biggest piece of machinery is the emergency diesel which is in constant readiness in case of power failure on the ship. In a way they control the climate aboard ship as the heating system and air-condi tioners also fall under their domain. When they aren ' t trying to keep us cool or warm, they take care of the diesel engines in the ship ' s boats. In addition to this floating equipment they are also responsible for the com- plete maintenance of the ship ' s three vehicles. The fueling of the vehicles and boats is also a side line with them. Our hats are off to the men who operate the auxilary equipment which plays such a vital role in a smooth operating ship. 7
