DI ISIO HE PRIMARY JOB of the division aboard the CORAL SEA is that of operating the main engines in accordance with the orders of the Commanding Officer, issued either directly or through, his representative, the Officer of the Deck. Getting the turns out for the Skipper in spite of battle damage, or in times of peace, just ordinary machinery failures requires good organization, supervision by skilled operators and team work. The division fortunately possesses the above virtues in a very high degree. In conjunction with operating the main engines, just as in driving an automobile, there evolves a certain amount of required main- tenance and repair, in order that those engines stay in reliable and efficient operating condition. This responsibility as well as that of operating and maintaining all of the auxiliary machinery units serving the engines, except of course the boilers supplying the steam for motive power, falls to the lot of the division. ln addition to its contribution to the shipboard organization by virtue of its personnel operating and maintaining the engines fur- nishing motive power to the ship, and also operating and maintain- ing all auxiliary machinery units serving those engines, the Ml division shares with the E division the responsibility of operating and maintaining the turbo generators furnishing the ships lighting and power. All of the ships' steam propelled auxiliary power plants, includ- ing associated machinery units, and mechanical devices, are an as- signed responsibility of the division for maintenance and repair. The electrical end of the turbo generators, as well as the pump motors of associated machinery units and the electrical devices of the auxiliary power plants of course are repaired and maintained by the division. As you undoubtedly see by now, the division plays an im- portant roll in the shipboard organization. It is composed of per- sonnel possessing mechanical ability or aptitude in varying degrees, dependant upon the age, experience and background of the individ- ual. ' i- First row: 0. E. Xvutts, W. F.
