DIVISIO A,,, Al' . . . traylor fabricates part Machinist Mates compose the bulk of the Main Propulsion Division and their domain is the engine room. There they regulate the flow of steam thru the ship's main turbine engines whose output drives the reduction gears turning CIlVl's propeller shafts. Underway while the bridge watch and OOD are concerned with directing the ship's movements on her assigned mission, the throttlemen, atop watch and remainder of the engineering watch assume the initial burden of answering all bells and providing the shaft revolutions ordered by the bridge. Besides maintaining and operating the main propulsion drive train and auxiliary equipment, this division watches over the water distilling plant and its triple effect evaporator, the ship's main refrigeration plant plus its machine shop where replacement parts can be fabricated or originals repaired. . . . lacey liz Werner calibrate . . . hobby, nuske SL rnerha turn two.
