The Roger or Repair Division takes u major part in keep. ing the ship afloat and in making most of tht- shipboard re- pairs, This is known as damage control. which has as its primary purpose: keeping the ship in fighting condition. Its secondary purpose is to return the ship to port for any major repairs. Among the most feared events that can take place on the ship while at sea are for a fire to break out, and for water to be able to enter the ship freely. ln order for the ship to be ready for such emergencies, it has to have specially trained men who can fight all kinds of fires, and who can maintain necessary watertight integrity. These men come from the Roger Division. In breaking down the division we find there are carpenters QDCJ, repairmen tDCl , pipefitters lFPj , metalsmiths IQMEFP , and yeoman QYNRI. Carpenters-anyone who has not had any shipboard duty may wonder, what is the necessity for a carpenter shop on a steel ship?ii It is true that a great amount of wood has been removed from Navy ships, however, the woodworker will find that he has more work assigned to him than he can do in one day. Small boats, which arelin constant need of repairs, special shelves and tables, staging. and cruise boxes keep the woodworker busy and make the car- pentef shop indispensable. :CRN Division has dependable carpenters Borland, Petruska, and Gregor. Repairmen-a competent repairman can be called a jack of all trades. His most important jobs are: maintaining all of the shipis fire- fighting equipmentg preserving watertight integrity by con- ducting periodic tests of compartments, and keeping the shipis scutttles, doors, and hatches in good working condition. Chief Balch, Hamilton, Scott, Fall, Butler, Washburn, Kem- met, Capeto, Hutchison, Weisbrod, McCaffee and Fuller make up our team of repairmen. Pipefitters-the pipefittersi main concern aboard the ship is with the piping. During peacetime steaming, the upkeep of this piping is a most important part in -the ship's efficient operation. Parts of the piping system which receive their attention are: the firemain, damage con- trol pumping, fiushing, flooding, fresh water, drainage, com- pressed air, fuel oil filling and transfer, and gasoline systems. Pipefitters can handle all kinds of welding which the ship CARPENTERS AT WORK ,K , lx , f l 1 ik 1 -is PIPEFITTERS might require. NR Division's pipefitters are Chief Radford and Chief Russick, Berg, Johnson, Tobey, Carson, Beau- champ, Jorns, Brooks, White, Kuhn, Lemieux, Hoard, Hen- drix, Filippazzo and Graziano. Metalsmiths-a metalsmithis job is considered very im-5 portant. His side arms are mallets, snips, and torches: and his ammunition is tin, copper, aluminum, iron, and steel. He welds, brazes, bends, cuts, forms and fabricates. This means that his job is one of variety requiring many special skills and technical know-how. Among Roger Division's. highly competent metalsmiths are: Chief Hoffner, Mizelle, Pikulski, Engen, Parker, Farmer, Lampman, Haas, Rogers, Turley, Roy, Ily, R., Ily, D., Flint, Dombrock, Hood, Wabnitz, and- Andrew. 1 A 'i . Our engineer log room yeomen Ford and Suarez, handle all R Divisioifs paper work and a lot of the entire depart- ment's in addition. , A Last but not least come the ship's carpenter, CHCARP Jones, who directs and coordinates all the repair'division's jobs and the Division OHicer, LTJG Overpeck, who is the overall administrator of the division.. 1 foe White FPFN .
