m . ; D DIVISION REPAIR DIVERS DIVISION The Diving Division of the Repair Department represents a bit of an enigma to those permanently attached on board Cape Cod. While in San Diego, the Diving Division is sent TAD to the Consolidated Divers unit where they work in support of San Diego-based PACFLT units tasked by Readiness Support, San Diego. When Cape Cod deploys, the divers join her and provide preventive and corrective maintenance on all units assigned to availabilities with the ship. The broad category of IMA underwater ship ' s husbandry encompasses the maintenance necessary on vessels below the water-line, including underwater hull inspections, sonar dome inspections, PMS on bow thrusters, cutting and welding operations, patching and plug- ging suctions, and overboard discharges, as well as inspecting and clearing fouled screws. Due to the serious nature of diving operations, many time consuming precautions must be observed. BM1 M. Clucas DC2 R. Dill HM1 L. Geyer EN1 B. Maloney MM3 A. Carter EM3 V. Malone ET3 A.
