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.
