t B DIVI I0 t HE PRIMARY DUTIES of B division is the generating of steam to operate the main propulsion plant and all other machinery aboard ship. In conjunction with this the division has the responsibility of operation, maintenance and repair of all boilers and associated auxiliary machinery. While the ship is underway at sea the per- sonnel within the division is engaged in watch standing in the Hrerooms. This involves duties such as lighting off and securing burners, adjusting burner combinations and maintaining proper water levels so that the correct steam supply is always available to meet the demands of any speed changes that may be ordered for the main engines. While the ship is not in an underway status all hands are engaged in upkeep and repair of their respective machinery. B Division also is entrusted with the duty of operating the oil laboratory. The personnel attached to the laboratory has the task of fueling ship, transferring oil to and from the many tanks aboard ship and keeping the ship properly ballasted and trimmed. In addition to this the laboratory makes chemical analysis of all boiler water and water to be used in the boilers. From these analyses is determined the correct treatment which is to be given the water and it is so treated to prevent any detrimental reaction to the boilers. A third major duty of the division is the distilling of sea water to make fresh water for consumption aboard ship and for boiler feed water. This is done with evaporators. It is of utmost impor- tance that these evaporators are constantly operated and maintained in the proper condition to avoid impurities in the water that may affect the health of all hands aboard ship. In order that the above duties may be executed without delay and casualties, it is necessary to always maintain a high degree of skill and dexterity within the division. To accomplish these tasks, B division has a group of highly trained men dedicated to the safe, efhcient and expedient operation of the ship so that this ship shall always be ready for any occasion that may arise. r First ruw: C.
