Keeping the Champ under a good head of steam is quite a job, but the men of B Division pull through with gauges flying. Working several feet below the Waterline, the l49 men of B Division tend eight huge boilers which release the steam for the ship's turbines. B Division is also responsible for tour firerooms, ship's evaporators, and the ship's fuel oil system. Even in port, the division's work continues. At least one of the ship's boilers must be kept in operation to provide the necessary steam power and water services. Like the gauges on the boilers, the men of B Division are never idle.

E Division, the trouble shooters of the Champ, makes from 40 to 50 calls a day answering our elec- trical needs. The division is responsible for sound powered telephones, lighting and power generators, gyro compasses and repeaters, and nearly all of the ship's electrical equipment such as fans, lights and coffee messes. Another E Division job, which all the crew enjoys, is operation of the ship's movies. Occasionally, E Division lends a hand to one of our neighbors. Twice this year for example, men were transferred to smaller ships by highline to help repair gyros. The E Division officer is ENS D. Boerner, who is assisted by CWO Ioseph Sakas., The division is made up of 86 men, 50 of whom are rated electri- cians. Without them, we'd really be in the dark.
