d o o o M is for Machinery and the four main engines which propell the ship through the water in excess of thirty knots are the primary responsibility of M Division. Each of these engines consists primarily of a high pressure and low pressure turbine coupled to a reduct- ion gear. This gear, similar to an automobile trans- mission, reduces the high speed of the turbine to the lower speed of the propeller. Associated with each engine are many pumps of various types and capacities as well as hundreds of feet of piping. The responsibility for operation and upkeep of the prime mover of the ships four turbo-generators are also part of our task. Each of these consists of a turbine and reduction gear to drive the generator plus several pumps and associated valves and piping. These units produce the electrical power needed for the various equipment used in modern Naval warfare and personal convenience. Another contribution to this city afloat by M Division is fresh water. The ships four evaporators distill all the fresh water used by the crew, the boilers and other devices unable to utilize salt water. machinery Xfwgwa ., X ff A 3 YV 4 X 0 '42 ' I' ltig ottino division officer fi-if f Q 1- o KI fo rJ I w walker c w radick f c smith ir., b.l. dupuy, a. r. chaffin, t.d. workman, k.r. rowland, j. f. huffman, c.i I' n f W: v ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' . 1 b k ow r I shook r w wilson w c fricke, i. f. dunegan, w. e. berry, p. t. hooper, c.d. buttruff, i. l. hancock, v.
