During our cruise through the exciting and interesting lands of the orient, there was always one division that had to wait until liberty call to see and appreciate any of the scenery. This happy event, moreover, was usually ingloriously referred to by topside sightseers as the Snipes coming out of their holes. The men who make the ship go, the engine- men and boilermen of M Division, voiced few complaints however, as long as the liberty was good and the money held out. Underway they could usually be found amassed on the fantail when work was done, holding an impromptu guitar jam session. Both in port and under way, they performed admirably their task of providing the ship with her basic and essential ability to meet her commitments. 13

One of the most versatile groups on the ship, R Division had the job of keeping almost everything on board in good repair throughout the cruise, from the piping and air conditioning systems to the ship ' s entertainment and the liberty boat. At General Quarters, R Division coordinated vital damage control functions. The rest of the time, R Division personnel listened to the gripes and demands of the whole ship, and somehow managed to perform the entire multitude of tasks to everyone ' s satisfaction. Making up this super-service outfit are the A (for auxiliary) Gang, the Electrician ' s Mates and the I. C. Electricians, along with the real shipboard jacks of all trades, the Shipfitters. Hard workers aboard. Snipes and proud of It, R Division also led the way on the beach. If there was a party, R Division found it; if not, they started their own, and reportedly visited night spots so exclusive that no Americans had ever before set foot inside. 15
