A A Division ' s Machinist ' s Mates, Machinery Repairmen and Enginemen kept in operation all Engineering Department ' s equipment outside of the main machinery spaces, with the exception of the electrical, piping, and ventilation systems. They provided for much of our comfort while in WestPac, supplying us with fresh water and air conditioning and maintaining equipment in the galley, laundry and soda fountain. Thanks to A Division, a steady flow of ice cubes from our ice machines cooled our drinks at mealtime. LTJG Volk; S.M. Clark, MMCS; W.A. Glover, EN1; D.D. Meeks, MM1; CD. Leonard, MR1; and W.H.

BB Division is divided into four major groups of Machinist ' s Mates and Boilermen-- the Forward and After Fireroom crews, the Generator gang, and the Oil Lab workers. The ship ' s four 88-ton boilers were kept steaming in the Forward and After Firerooms around the clock by B Division. The Generator gang kept the ship ' s four service turbo- generators and related equipment running. The oil lab tested and treated feed and drinking water which they made, and helped keep the ship on an even keel by controlling GALVESTON ' S liquid load. 144

MM Division ' s Machinist ' s Mates operated the ship ' s four 25, OOO-horsepower engines, which turned our four gigantic screws nearly 32 million times each during the cruise. They answered the engine order telegraph from the bridge thousands of times, often when the ship was in tight spots, such as during sea detail, or shore bombardment, when precise maneuvering was a must. M Division ' s snipes also cared for the turbines, main reduction gear, shafts, shaft alleys, stern tubes, and the main condensers. 146
