Swyers FN DIVISION It is only when you seriously consider the mission of this ship in general and of The Engineering Department in particular that you can realize the importance of the R H Repair Division. The division is made up of skilled craftsmen, metalsmiths, pipefitters, damage controlmen and their strikers . Some of these craftsmen have attended Navy Schools for their particular trade but most of the knowledge of their trade comes from months and years of expe- rience. These are working men, these are the men who maintain and keep this ship in a constant state of repair. The men of the R 'I Repair Division are justifiably proud of their record of accomplishments. They have put in long hours, repairing and maintaining the various systems of their ship. Some of the repairs have necessitated working around the clock in order that the ship be always ready to accomplish its mission. There will never be a time when the R I' Repair Division will have all its work done on this or any other Naval Vessel. Each hour every day will find these men going about their assigned jobs in a Workman like way. The assigned job might be to renew a section of the firemain, to repair a watertight door or hatch, to rebuild a portable fire pump, to repair a liberty boat, to stand a four hour watch in Damage Control Central or a Sounding and Security Watcli. Wliatever the job, it will be done. The hard jobs are accomplished right away, the impossible sometimes take a little longer. Even with all the work there is to do, all work and no play makes ,lack a dull boy so it is nice to break away for picnics, sight seeing and other forms of recreation which are entered into with the same spirit as the ship's work is performed.
