A-A Duty A Gang, lay to the mess decks. When duty A Gang is called to the scene, you can bet there is a problem with one of FARRAGUT'S many refrigeration units, heating and cooling systems or the emergency generators. A Gang is a special division, made up of three rates, Machinist Mates, Machinery Repairmen, and Enginemen. Unlike other engineers, the A Gang crew concentrates on all the machinery and systems which make life a little more bearable for the crew. The engineers down in the holes concentrate on making the ship steam through the water. All of the refrigeration units on the mess decks are maintained by A Gang as well as all of the other pieces of equipment in the gallies and sculleries throughout the ship. Any time a small boat goes into the water, there is a member of A Gang along, usually an Engineman, just in case the engine fails. FARRAGUT'S operations people rely on A Gang to repair the cooling systems on the radars and computers. When the ship loses power, it's A Gang's 426 horse power emergency diesels that go on the line to supply the ship with electricity. The hydraulic systems aboard FARRAGUT are also maintained by A Gang. All heat and water pumps outside of the main engineering spaces are also the responsibility of the guys in A Gang. Everyone knows Somebody that can fix just about anything. Well, if you're ever looking for a Jack of All Trades , just call for A Gang. 52
