The air conditioned comfort we enjoyed while deployed was due in large part to the people in A Division. Additionally, they are responsible for all of the ship ' s auxilliary equipment including the air conditioning units, elevators, conveyors, steering gear, anchor windlasses, refrigeration plants and many other items. While the ship was performing upkeep on the various ships, A Division also provided high and low pressure air, oxygen, nitrogen and low pressure steam to all of the units as well as DIXON. The upkeep and repair of the ship ' s small boat and emergency diesel engines was also performed by the A gang.
