Lawrence B. A. BTC BSM DIVISION Reeder G. R. MM1 Leaver S. C. LTJG B M division literally makes the ship move. Fresh water, electricity, heating, and cooling are all direct products of this division. The division consists of two distinct rates, Boiler Technicians and Machinist Mates. The BT ' s are responsible for the main- tenance and steaming of the ship ' s four boilers. It is here that the steam is produced and sent on its way to the ships engines, service turbo generators, evaporators, hot water heaters, and various pumps which support the entire main propulsion system. When this steam leaves the fire rooms the Machinist Mates take over. They are re- sponsible for the proper amount of steam admitted to the ship ' s steam turbines for the main engines. The maintenance and repair of steam driven pumps, support of main feed systems, turbine oil system and condensation system all fall in their realm of responsibility. The ship ' s water for the boilers and fresh water for the crew are made directly from the ocean by two sets of evaporators which are operated also by the Machinist Mates. The B M Oil King transfers fuel oil and keeps track of how much we have on board. He also treats the boilers to keep them within proper chem- ical limits. Jenkins D. W. FN Lichtenberger R. L.
