R Division When the ship has sustained serious damage — when compartments are choked with fumes, smoke, or the crushing waters of the sea the burden of responsibility falls upon the experi- enced men who lead repair parties. Quickly, into chaos they bring confidence. Creating order with sure, swift measures of damage control, the ship floats on an even keel, regains power; fires are extinguished, and casu- alties are gently moved to the designated spaces for medical aid. Preparing for this type of situa- tion, R Division personnel work throughout the ship each day conducting air tests, checking fire- fighting and emergency equipment, replacing worn gaskets, demand- ing up-to-date compartment check- off lists, and making sure the ship retains absolute watertight integrity. With all this, they act as ship ' s carpenters, metalsmiths and pipe- fitters tending to the needs of the crew, working for comfort and safety tradesmen, in the normal routine, but ever watchful and ready to save the ship, if the time comes, so that her mission might be completed, and she might live to fight again.

R E Division E Division can call every space its own workship subdivided into several gangs, each charged to care for its own circuit, the divi- sion has enotigh electricity at its fingertips to light the city of Reno, Nevada. The Distribution Gang keeps four million watts in hand, with its pumps, blowers, compressors, and steering gear. One can breathe fresh air on the fourth deck, thanks to the Power Gang which handles vents, plus galley ranges, ovens, and deck machinery. The Lighting Gang keeps innumerable fans spinning and lights burning, from mast to bilge. The telephones, public address systems, and sound- powered phones are the province of the Interior Communications Gang. The Battery Gang establishes a life line for the ship with emergency batteries for the turrets, transmitters, compasses, and spotlights. 110 A
