The men of B-Division provide the energy for all the machinery and equipment of the ROOSEVELT. From twelve Babcock and Wilcox boilers, the largest number on any ship in the fleet, comes the steam which turns the ship's engines, generators, and pumps. The production of fresh water is another task of B-Division. The ship's four evaporators, two flash and two older submerged tube type, can produce up to 280,000 gallons of fresh or feed water per day. The water is monitored by the men ofthe oil lab for purity, as the water being fed to the boilers is required to be the purest possible. The men of the oil shack are also responsibile for the sampling, storage, and distribution of the ship's two million gallons of diesel fuel marine, the fuel burned in the boilers. When a boiler requires repair, be it a leak or an errant copes automatic water level control, the men of the boiler repair shop are called on to fix it. It is often a thankless job to live in a world of 850 degree steam, but everything' that works on the ship is dependent on those twelve firerooms which were ROSIE'S heart for thirty-one years.
