The RENSHAW has two main propulsion units that drive two propellers with a total force of 30,000 horsepower per shaft and is capable of zipping the elderly RENSHAW along at a stately clip. Also included in the division are a small band of MM's who operate and main- tain the distilling plant that is so vital to a steam driven ship especially on pro- longed periods at sea. These men are re- ferred to as Water Kings , and control all water aboard, conduct daily chemical test on the boiler water to ensure purity and closely control storage, usage and distilling of all water. We also have the BT's, who spend all of their working hours and a good part of their sleeping or liberty hours either operating the ship's boilers or operating on the ship's boilers, a dedicated bunch who can always be depended upon to furnish steam to the turbines at any temperature or pressure desired and at any time ofthe day or night. Last, but not least, are the oil kings, who are responsible for the ship's oil supply.The oil kings may be found at all times of the day and night taking soundings on the ships tanks. They, like the rest of M division, must be doing a goodjob. .. . .We meet our commitments . 3 .J -3 1 ,,s..,,P.-.,a-...f-..m.-p-h-...l-.
