A ship which has lost its electric power has lost her capability as a fighting unit. Therefore, it falls upon the electrical division to insure that the Oklahoma City receives P that a steady flow of electrical power comes r division is responsible for overseeing and repairing all of the lighting, power and distribution systems and a constant, unfailing supply of electrical ower. ln coordination with M and B division personnel, the men of E division must guarantee f om the ship's service turbo-generators. Separately, E the interior communication systems aboard ship. Broken down, E division consists of 2 ratings: Electricians Mates EMS and Interior Communications Electricians ICS . The E division EM's are directly concerned with the operation and maintenance of equipment used to generate and distribute electric power. They are also involved with the upkeep of a myriad of lighting and power circuits throughout the ship. The IC-men maintain and repair IC systems, gyro compass systems, navigation systems, amplified and unamplified voice systems, alarm and warning systems, and related equipment. ln addition, it is E division's responsibility to provide personnel to operate and maintain the ship's movie projectors. In total, the E division responsibilities canvas a large amount of equipment spread throughout the ship.

So, it comes to pass that this products fall into disrepair and someone must be called upon to restore them. Such is the role of R division on the Oklahoma City, the role of trouble-shooter and repairman. Specifically R division fills the vital and wide-ranging functions of handling most of the mechanical and structural repairs aboard ship, along with maintaining the fireman, drainage, and flushing systems and insuring the damage control readiness and watertight integrity of the ship. ln this multi-faceted capacity, the division operates out of 4 main work centers, the metal shop, pipe shop, carpenter shop, and damage control shop. In the first three the personnel of R division mend and fabricate products varying from bookshelves to piping to sheet metal construction, indicating the broad spectrum of repair work done by the division. ,From the damage control shop, with coordination from DC Central, the D.C. gang directs its work toward the upkeep of all damage control equipment as well as maintenance of watertight fittings. This last is a job of foremost priority for the division, since watertight integrity and damage control readiness must be insured if the division is to be able to perform the necessary repairs after a battle or accident casualty. Ready for the worst, R division works to insure the worst never has a chance to occur. Front row left to right, D. Lackey SFM3, B. Toth SFP3, P. Mathews' DC3, L. Lozen FN, S. Arshan FN, W.
