ger Deck Hanger bays one, two, and three are operated and maintained by the men of V-3 Division. At sea when aircraft are flying the hangar deck becomes a hugh and complex maintenance facility where multimillion dollar aircraft are readied for their prospective missions. Day and nightthe work goes on. One of the many jobs routinely performed by the men of V-3 is the positioning and spotting of the many and varied types of aircraft found aboard ROSIE. All this is done with the aid of a little three wheeled contraption called a spotting dolly. Another very essential job performed by V-3 personnel is the operation of the 3 massive deck edge elevators and associated equipment such as the rollerdoors and large ballastic doors that seperate the various hangar bays into flame proof sections. The skilled personnel of V-3 also maintain and operate the entire hangar sprinkler system which is composed of a vast network of valves and piping designed to bring additional cooling water to bear on a fire should the need arise. These personnel also maintain and operate 3 conflagration stations located high above the main deck, whose sole function is to discover and quickly bring under control any fire or other disturbance discovered by the ever watchful operator.
