R-lA Division The division is divided into four subsections: 11A Ship- fitters, 26A B Welders (non-nuclear and nuclear), 56A Pipe- fitters, and 57A Lagging and Insulation Team. The Shipfitters ' task is to manufacture or repair heavy steel structures of pipe and plate. There is almost no limit to the expertise and as- sortment of jobs that can be done in the shop ' s spaces. The Welders are an elite group of men that are highly quali- fied in welding high pressure, nuclear and non-nuclear com- ponents. There is almost no end to the metals these men can fuse together. Pipefitting is a unique task for the men of this area because it has no end to the flexibility that ' s needed to accomplish the jobs assigned. Anything ranging from bending to brazing pipe, this group is quite professional and well appreciated in the Repair Department. ENS D. B. CECIL Back row, left to right: G. Westcott, M. McDermott, R.
