B-Division CANOPUS is a conventional steam powered ship, which means that somewhere among the many compartments and spaces there must be a boiler. The men who work there affectionately call it the holef' These Boiler Technicians and firemen stand many long hours on watch, constantly reading the maze of gauges and indicators that tell them everything is running smoothly inside the boilers and their associated systems. Oil Lab technicians make chemical analysis on the various fuel and lubrication oils used by the boilers and systems. B Division's main job is to make steam for the ship's propulsion plant and electrical genera- tors. This steam is also supplied to the ship's laundry plant and is used in the making of hot water throughout the ship. B-Division's service to the submarines is to provide them with diesel and lubrication oils and service steam while in port. There is a lot of hot, hard and dirty work involved in maintaining and operating the fireroom, but it is one of the most vital elements of the ship.

DC Division Damage Control Division is one of the most unheralded groups on the USS CANOPUS. Most of the crew does not realize the size and importance of the job DC does. To many, DC is the division you can rely on in case of any type of emergency, from a major fire to a leaky faucet. DC is the first line of defense in combating any type of fire or flooding. DC is also there when a commode is stopped up. Damage Control is divided into two shops. The Shipfitter Shop handles all trouble calls and job orders requiring fabrication and installation. The CO2 Refill Shop handles all maintainence on damage control equipment, which includes the three repair lockers. They also provide DC's only service to the submarines, which are servicing CO2 extinguishers, hydrotesting fire hoses and supplying fire fighting water while they are in port. Damage Control Division is a hard working group that forms a professional team.
