WiThin The Engineering DeparTmenT organizaTion The B Division is one oT The Two com- ponenTs oT The Main Propulsion secTion, and has as iTs responsibiliTy The operaTion and mainTenance oT The ship's boilers, The boiler Teed sysTem and The Tuel oil service and TransTer sysTems. A vasT maioriTy oT The boilermen in The division worlc and sTand waTches in The Tour Tireroom spaces: however, a small group oT specialisTs, called 'oil kings' are aparT Trom The resT, and handle exclusively The Tuel oil sysTem. Over 957, oT The men in The B Division are waTch sTanders, and iT seems ThaT a boiler- man's liTe is one oT conTinual waTch sTanding, boTh underway and in porT. Perhaps The mOST Tiring grind oT Them all is a Tour boiler operaTion aT sea, Tor iT necessiTaTes a waTch-on waTch- oTT schedule in The Tirerooms. Tending boilers on naval vessels is much more complex and diTTiculT Than on merchanT ships or sTaTionary engineering planTs because The conTinual variaTion in sTeam demand requires consTanT vigilance and quiclc decisive acTion on The parT oT The boilermen on waTch. The men lcnow only Too well ThaT an operaTing casualTy Or mechanical Tailure oT some sorT is apT To occur aT any momenT, parTicularly aT high speeClS. and They musT be ready Tor iT. None oT The 'unscheduled' casualTies which The men have had To cope wiTh since The ship has been in commission have resulTed in damage To Tire- room machinery. fl' 3. s

All vehicles aboard ship and Those which may be aTTached To The ship are also Taken care oT by The diesel group. The machine shop Turns ouT precision parTs which are unavailable Through normal channels or are needed in an emergency. AlThough Their equipmenT is limiTed compared To shore insTallaTions, The shop personnel have always been able To perform all Tasks done Tor This ship, and have oTTen been called upon To lend a hand To oTher ships in The TleeT. The machinisT maTes have charge oT hydraulic eguipmenT noT connecTed wiTh guns which includes The sTeering equipment anchor windlass, and crane. They also mainTain The emergency Tire pumps locaTed ThroughouT The ship, The declc winches, hangar haTch and gasoline sysTem. AP- , l , 0 , W . has -fr-mf I limi ,
