J. Fennell, L. W. B DIVISION With the evolution of Fulton's Steam Boat came an entirely new and unique breed of men known as the boilermen. Today's modern boilerman, still the backbone of any steam plant, is a highly specialized man versed in the scientific operation and main- tenance of modern high pressure and high temperature steam generators. Aboard this ship the B Division, with its 85 enlisted men, is divided into four gangs in order to carry out the division responsibilities. The first and major gang is the iireroom gang which is responsible for the efficient operation of the four flrerooms, boilers, and associated auxiliary machinery. The second gang, known as the Oil Kings , is charged with the stowage and transfer of fuel oil and water. They also analyze feed water to control its chemical properties and make such daily tests of fresh water as to insure its potability. The third gang consisting of boiler repairmen is used to perform major repairs to the boilers. . The fourth gang, actually machinist mates, constitutes the fireroom repair gang whois primary duty is the operation and maintenance of the four turbo-generators and the six air compressors together with all the turbine pumps found in the iirerooms. I The work and efforts of these four gangs are coordinated by ENS A. F. De Negri Boiler and Division Oflicer and MACH F. Vodopich Division Junior and Station Officer.

E DIVISION Almost every function of operating the ship toutside of the main propulsion plantj depends upon electrical power: moving, controlling, and firing the guns, hoisting ele- vators and anchors, turning the rudder, running the pumps, blowers, saws, lathesg operating the auxiliary machinery and the interior communications, fire fighting, light- ing, and radio systems. The ship, like a human body, has nerves or electric cables running from the top of the mast to the bilges, and from the bow to the stern. The maintainance of these cables and the apparatus attached is the primary function of the E Division. ENS M. D. Flynn, the Division Officer, and CHELEC L. H. Mclntire, the Electrician and Station Officer, supervise and control the maintenance and repair demanded of the 61 men in the Division.
