(LEFT) Monitoring the boilers is a 24-hour job, and in the hole , mistakes can mean lives. (ABOVE) Seated below a blower, even the 120-degree plus heat doesn ' t discourage some storytelling. (BELOW) Preparing to light off the boiler. Every BT carries matches. Just in case. 21

B Division The job of the Boiler Technician is to keep the fires burning and provide the ship with the steam it turns into power. In the brick and steel boiler, air and fuel are brought together at 2,000 degrees to vaporize water into 600-pounds of pressure. Every change in speed or drain on the ship ' s power means a BT ' s hand on the throttles to keep the mixture burning at just the right pace. Every BT has to qualify as a watchstander and that means he has to learn his way around the maze of pipes that seem to grow out of the deck like ivy on the side of a house. And when the ship puts out the fires and goes cold iron it ' s the BT who rebricks the furnace so it will burn clean and safe the next time. A BT quickly learns the workings of a grease gun. 20

But that ' s where the resemblance ends. An MM works with pumps and fittings that can be as big as a man, using wrenches the size of a tennis racket and, sometimes, a ten-pound sledge is the only way to knock some sense into a frozen nut. Tearing apart a two-ton pump in the hole is like working in a steam bath. But it takes skill and patience to work with heavy equipment which has to fit down to the last thousandth of an inch. Machinists Mates also provide the ship with fresh water, distilled from the sea. 22
