Auxiliary And Electrical Division 'TW A 8: E Division, somewhat stealth, but vital. The A-Ciangers ensured that all of CIMARROITS auxiliary equipment re- mained in optimum operational stan- dards throughout the deployment. Their efforts keeping the ACLS up and running were especially appreciated by the entire crew right around the times that CIMARRON crossed the equator! Also responsible for the below-the- deck UNREP operations, the Fuel Movers , A Gang ensured that all CIMARROIYS customers received their gas as quickly and safely as possible. So quiet that you scarcely notice them Qunless internal communications or lights go dovimj, E Division kept the entire ship talking amongst itself and to all the alongside customers. E Divi- sion's efforts to ensure that the steer- ing system was completely operational kept the Helmsmen steering safely and surely quite a feat having driven more than 12,000 miles!
