Dempsey J. T. MMC Dubbs W. M. LTJG Morse F. X. LTJG R DIVISION R division consists of a number of separate gangs including Shipfitters and Damage Controlmen, Electricians, IC men, and A gang : The Shipfitters ' shop takes care of all welding and repairs which require work with metals. This could mean welding a crack in a fuel tank, or repairing chairs on the mess decks. The electricians work with all the electrical systems on the ship and are responsible for much of the electrical gear on board. Their job may be as complicated as repairing a delicate switch- board or it can be only the changing of a light bulb. The IC men are responsible for maintaining and repairing all internal communications equipment, and this gear must be kept in good shape at all times. They also show the crews ' movies in the evening. Auxiliary equipment on the ship is kept up by A gang . These men repair machinery throughout the ship, and also keep air conditioning and refrig- eration systems operational. The Damage Controlmen maintain all DC gear in an operational status and are used for training the crew in procedures for fighting fires and combating other emergencies. Obviously, R division ' s responsibilities are wide spread, but a constant team effort by all results, in getting the work done. Bursey R. B. EMI Runion M. E. IC2 Benken R. L. DC2 Fedynich J.
