Dlllll HE ROGER DIVISION, one of the six comprising the Engineering Department, is the Ship's repair division. Three specialist ratings, namely Metalsmiths, Pipelitters, and Damage Controlmen, fall ex- clusively within this division and additionally assigned are all Engineering Department yeomen. Constantly occupied with the endless flow of requests for repair work of every nature, the R Division maintains three shops. ln the Shipfitter Shop are the metalsmiths, and pipel-itters. Specialists in their field, the metalsmiths take care of all shipboard welding, cutting, brazing, sheetmetal layout, and structural metal work, while the Pipefitters find their time more than adequately occupied in maintaining all piping and plumbing fixtures. The Carpenters, who are Damage Controlmen by rate, operate the second of the three shops Their greatest concern is the upkeep of the CORAL SEAS many small boats When the Ship leaves port there is always boat repair work to be accomplished Replacing planking and boat beading is a daily occurrence In addition the carpenters must handle the stream of requests to manufacture all types of wooden articles for use about the ship The last shop, and perhaps the one having the greater variety of responsibilities, is the CO2 Transfer Shop. As the name implies, all portable CO2 fire extinguishers are refilled in this shop. This is but one of the functions of the DC Gang. They have the entire firemain to repair, test, and maintain, along with the high capacity fog foam system, hangar sprinkling systems, and all other fire ight- ing equipment installed. The ship's watertight integrity is the direct responsibility of the Damage Control Gang, and in this connection they must maintain and repair all watertight doors, hatches, and scuttles, air test all watertight compartments, repair, inspect, and clean all ventilation systems, and keep a constant check on the operating condition of all fittings. Regardless of his rate or the shop 1n which he works each man in the R Division is considered an expert in the Held of Damage Control Consequently, these are the men who make up the main strength of our Fire Parties, Fire and Rescue Parties, and Repair Parties At General Quarters you will find them scattered through out the ship standing ready to take prompt and efficient action to quickly effect any required emergency repairs First row J E Bundy, D D B-lssen D A Orhmlo F S Cos tn, E C Lnuglxery Ens A L Jenks T T Nvooten, L M Shea G Sortwell Jr M II Burch J M Pnuhc Second row E P xvlllldllls V S B11-betta J J Rothwell W H Rothwell E Danielson, Jr J D Alexander IV Sol-olouskx B C McKee, J P Burns, WV L l-Izunxum, R A Freflrxckson, D Wxsnlewvskx Fu-st row J J Steplntns R R D Drunp M K Drecllsler Il H Sellner W E Buehler, A G Cllrlstrlnsell, J A Ventrlglln, J V Qlnnn llri J Sllxll Second rmw D I' Holmquxst, W Sclmonm ll er P R Bnszlmu, A M nrcoux XV 'I' Bristow G Xvlllett R J Irentuce A Wlllxnllxsoll, P D1 Il'u'Q,p C D lVert 3 . - . ..
