BTC B. L. Lytle BT1 J. V. Pallares BT2 D. C. Bockness B Division Throughout the WESTPAC deployment HANSON has been called upon to partake in various tasks. ln each evolution the BT's lBoiIertendersl were the silent men behind the scene. These men were responsible for the steady supply of steam to each of the ship's turbines and auxiliary systems, they supplied the basic motivating force without which the HANSON could neither move nor function. Both at sea and inport the BTs were working long and demanding hours repairing and maintaining the ship's boilers and associated systems. lt was a special occasion whenever the BTs went ashore, so when they did there was usually a party. The BTs proved they could do as much steaming on the beach as they could in the firerooms chasing a bird farm . The HANSON can be proud of its fine record throughout WESTPAC and the SNIPES from B Division stand tall among the HANSONIVIEN for they have done a truly outstanding job in times of extreme difficulty. 4 ' BT2 L.
