E-1 E-1 Division is responsible for the maintenance and safe operation of all the ship's service four hundred and sixth hertz electrical power. The operation end of the game re- quires that personnel be nuclear trained and be qualified electrical operators. Electrical operator is a watch which monitors and controls the Navy's largest sea going gener- ators, and distribution system. The Electrician's, both Interior Communication Electri- cians and Electrician's Mates, are also responsible for maintenance of many support electrical components and equipment, such as motors, controllers and numerous alarm systems in each main machinery room, shaft alley and diesel room. They are also responsible for the operation and mainte- nance of the ship's degaussing system, that is designed to make the ship safe from magnetic weaponry. Though E-1 Division had minor casualties this cruise, there have been fewer major breakdowns and the men were able to find some much deserved liberty time. Most of the cruise was devoted to training and prepara- tion for the Operational Reactor Safeguards Examination. This preparation included preservation and cleanliness of the propulsion spaces and maintaining a level of knowl- edge which continues to be an ongoing evolution. LTJG RB. Fowler ICC J.E.
