R DIVISIO : If we can't fix it, it isn't One of the most diversified jobs on FARRAGUT is that of a Hull Technician. An HT's job includes firefighting, all phases of damage control and nuclear-biologi-cal- chemical warfare monitoring and clean up, in addition the HT must be proficient enough to instruct all shipboard personnel in these areas. An HT,s daily routine consists of arc welding, pipe fitting, oxyce- telene cutting and welding, silver brazing, braze welding, plumbing and soldering. Almost all emergency repairs aboard FARRAGUT require the talents of an HT. When FARRAGUT receives a helicopter over her fantail for personnel or logistics transfer, the HT's respond f Z . f : 55181. broken. by manning the helo crash detail. Should a mishap occur during this period, it would be the responsibili- ty of the HTS to rescue the helo crew and save the ship from possible damage. According to an old saying, There are only two things an HT can't weld, A broken heart and the crack of dawn. my ' ., 'lwvnqs , fm, . , !,k, V , fi., fu 4 l ma, l fy ,, , I Z Z lu-...L Hawkes

So if you ever write their sons, or try to tell their tale, The very words would make you hear, a firey furnaces wail. And people as a general rule, don't hear of men of steel, So little is heard about that place, which sailors call the HOLE . But I can sing about this place, and try to make you see, The hardened life of men down there, cause one of them is me. I've seen these sweat soaked heros fight, in superheated air, To keep their ship alive and right, though no one knows they're there. ' And thus they'll fight for ages on, till warships sail no more, And the boilers mighty heat, and the engines hellish roar. So when you see a ship pull out to meet a warlike foe, Remember faintly if you can, THE MEN WHO WORK BE- LOW.
