Divers lf you think the SSBNS served by the CANOPUS look large, you should see the entire boat. As with an iceberg, there is quite a bit of submarine underneath the water. The CANOPUS Divers get to see a lot of this part of the submarine that goes unnoticed to most of us. Each time a submarine returns to port after patrol the Divers must perform underwater security checks to ensure that there are no surveillance or explosive devices on the sub. This task is also performed each time the sub changes piers. The Divers also have a checklist of items on the hull of the sub that must by inspected during each refit period. Needless to say, the Divers can be assigned their share of strange tasks. With their wide array of diving equipment, the Divers of CANOPUS stand ready to provide any underwater operation. gi-

Since three submarines and various surface ships may request services at any given time, a coordinat- ed effort is vital to ensure the jobs are completed and total chaos is avoided. Job requests are reviewed by the Repair Officer, Assistant Repair Officer and the Producation Management Assistant and then are assigned to the appropriate divisions and shop. Each ship being served by CANOPUS has a direct liaison with the Repair Department through a Ship's Superintendant, who reports the status of all jobs to the unit concerned and assists in keeping communication between the two open at all times. The Repair Office is responsible to the Commanding Officer for the timely completion of all requested work, and needless to say, the s jobs get done.
