1 Vital systems are constantly checked and repaired. M Division is not only of major im- portance to the Engineering Department, but to the entire ship. The operation and main- tenance of the four 25,000 horse-power main engines and numerous related equipment is performed by trained Machinist Mates and is an important factor in the maneuver- ability, operation, and, over-all perform- ance of GALVESTON. M Division's special skills are called upon during full power runs, at low speed cruising, and during stop and go position recovering. Even at anchor an around-the- clock watch is mandatory in the engine rooms. The working spaces are often hot and cramped First Row: R. Stevenson, W, Kumalaa, M. Sanders, E. Berends, LTJG J.

The men in the division are jacks-of- all-trades, as they are often called upon to do such minor jobs as patching a small hole in one of the ship's offices, to more major jobs like welding a 600 lbs steam line in the fireroom, The Shipfitters are divided into two groups, pipefitters and metalsmiths. The pipefitters, just as the name im- plies, are trained in repairing such things as firemains, drain lines, and fountains. They are also outstanding brazers and solderers. The metalsmiths do most of the ship's arc welding and sheetmetal work. Theyhave built everything from a swinging fish bowl to the ship's classroom, Also included are the carpenters who make most of the ship's show pieces such as plaques and picture frames. R Division men man the Repair Parties during general quarters. They also maintain a constant Damage Control watch which patrols the ship. l wwwxyx The shipfitter's sheet metal bender is one of the tools that enables them to build almost anything,
