FN Snyder checking boiler burners while BT1 Lewis supervises BT1 Conway and BT3 Worrick at work on the Main Feed Pump BRCJ R Collier BTCSR E Hopper BTCW B Worrell One of many small parts on a vast ship such as the LA SALLE, B Divisionfunctions at its best whenever the load is put on it. The main propulsion steam is provided by B Di- vision to keep the ship underway, and for the generators that provide our lights. Auxiliary steam gives us heat, hot food and shower service. We seldom get any recognition as we work where no one else but a snipe would dare be seen. Our hours are sometimes long and the work always hardg but this is just another job and we all know it has to be done. B Division also handles NSFO which runs hand in hand with our providing steam. No oil, no fire, and consequently, no steam, and without B Division the ship would be at a loss for many of life's conveniences. We have two boilers to tend and fire sides aren't a bed of roses, as any snipe can tell you. We do our Work and keep the LA SALLE on the go.

Responsibilityis another major fac- tor in the operation of an efficient division. This too is a part of E Division. The EM's are responsible, not only for the correct and proper operation of all electrical equipment, but also for keep- ing all gear SAFE to operate.Needless to say, LA SALLE Elec- tricians are on top of their responsibilities. Steering, communication, anchor handling gear, lighting, ventila- tion, and portable tools, which we all use, are constant companions for the electrician. A constant supply of electrical power, dis- tributed throughout the ship from the four Ship Service Turbo- generators and switchboards, is another service to the ship, During an emergency situation, electricians will be found supply- ing emergency electrical power and manning all repair parties. Casualty power is also rigged and connected by the repair party Sparky , Many extra hours are spent working while underway, and when finally in port work goes well beyond liberty call. Med lights are a must and are handled efficiently. time after time to show that this is a United States vessel, on a mission of good will, Communications, shipboard and outside, and gyro compasses are the responsibility of the I, C, Electricians. The good sounds over the ship's entertainment speakers, and your daily movie ration, are brought to you by the I, C, men with loving care. Small boats and fork lifttrucks are alsoa major responsibility for E Division. Our Electricians in the Battery shop usually have their hands full of Bos'n Mates, I mean, trouble calls, The extra boats we have on board, during our Med deployment. meant extra duty and many extra hours for the battery gang. EM's had their share of trouble calls and emergency jobs throughout Med 3-69, but they have always worked as a team with dedication. This factor alone helped them get the job finished Fight. Any Well dones given to E Division were well deserved, .both for the quality and quantity of work accomplished. It was a long, tiring cruise, but finally it was LA SALLE's turn at Pier W7 NOB, and liberty calls resounded,but LA SALLE's Elec- tricians were, as usual, working late rigging shore power. The best Dart Of any cruise for E Division is when the 1 MC pipes UP, THERE WILL BE A TEMPORARY LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POW- ER, WHILE SHIFTING FROM SHIP'S POWER TO SHORE POWER. That sounds the end of a cruise and the beginning of liberty! E DIVI IO EMC G, L, Boling lCl Mitchell, ENS Klemm review electrical problems
