The highly trained men and women of A- Division provide a variety of services to the ship and its mission. The Catapults shop manipulates raw steam so as to allow planes the initial thrust it takes to leave our flight deck. The Cryogenics shop produces essentially puie liquid oxygen (LOX) so pilots can breathe at extreme altitudes. They likewise generate the liquid nitrogen (LIN) that operates a plane ' s canopy and fills its tires. In addition to M maintaining the equipment that operates the B A crane, the rudders and the M anchor windlass, the Hydraulics shop maintains the ship ' s aircraft elevators. These four massive platforms allow the movement of planes between the Hangar Bay and Flight Deck, for launch or maintenance. Outside Repair maintains the potable water piping that carries fresh pure water to wash us clean or quench our thirst. The Air Conditioning and Refrigeration shop ( AC R) chills our drinking water, makes ice, preserves our food, and keeps the very air we breathe cool and dry. Steam Heat allows for clean laundry, hot food, and hot showers. Finally, there is Waste Management, which disposes of our biodegradable waste responsibly, to preserve the marine environment. k w., u 1 — ENl (SW) jOSEPJI mll 7 spr i A .--; - ' W PHiLucjHiaail B WK m E mm, MMl (S V AWi | B DAVID a Si K: rZ MMl ($W EUSgBI HBl ENDURING FREEDOM 1 2 1
