Ramppen HAB Habitability Division is responsible for performing rou- tine repairs on plumbing, heating, ventilation and electrical systems throughout the ship. Quick response to trouble calls ensures that the highest quality of living condition is maintained onboard Nimitz. The division handled an aver- age of 75 trouble calls each day while the ship was de- ployed. Habitability Division covers a broad spectrum of respon- sibilities with a division comprised of electrician's mates, hull technicians and machinist's mates. Habitability Division is an essential element of the Engi- neering Department and contributes significantly to the Nimitz. The Habitability Division completed more than 12,000 trouble calls requiring a great deal of skill and technical knowledge in the EM, MM, and HT ratings. They were known for their immediate response and slogan Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. The men of Habitability installed more than 30 toilets, 35 urinals, 40 hand dryers, and replaced 300 shower units with 300 hand held, water saving ones. They refurbished the shop and tool issue room creating a better working environment, and a more professional and workable sys- tem. The division has proven itself to be one of the finest divisions onboard Nimitz. Pride and professionalism have made the men work for a more effective and shining exam- ple onboard Nimitz and in our new Navy. HT2 w.n. wrsgm W EM3 D.H. Vidal EM3 L.R. Watson EM3 D.C.

Hanczyk MM2 J- Harvey MM2 M- Henev M-DIV 192 Snipe and The Hole are terms that usually apply to the Machinery Division. They refer to the Machinist's Mate and the Main Machinery spaces. These men can be found working to supply, in a typical Med deployment, 40,500 engine miles worth of main pro- pulsion, 700,000,000 gallons of pure water, heating steam for showers, laundry, and cooking, as well as running the generators that provide ship's electrical power. During Med Cruise 82-83, M Division completed several long range goals. Besides providing the usual propulsion steam and pure water, they restored the Auxiliary Boiler to service for the first time in many years. On short notice, M Division provided 110,000 gallons of fuel to USS Farragut. This refueling of a small boy WHS another evolution which had not been attempted for many months. lnport to M Division means a chance to work on vital equipment that cannot be taken down at sea, and just as important, a chance to have some liberty ashore. To say that the shipyard is an Engineering evolution is an understatement. M Division alone has projected ahead for more than one third of all Ship's Force Overhaul Manage- ment System work to be completed this period. lnport or at sea, one thing is consistent, that's doing the job right, Nimitz' Snipes are rightfully proud of their Hole and the services they provide to the ship as their role in Teamwork'A Tradition.
