.1w7l5l'.dSgemzz1L.,...- zz.. DAY 87. .YANKEE STATION Both the first and the last of our periods in the combat zone of the Tonkin Gulf were spent on Yankee Station, the area from which U.S. Navy carriers launch their strikes against North Viet Nam. The first of these tours was with USS SHANGRI-LA QCVA-387, while the second was with USS AMERICA QCVA-665. SOUTHER- LAND's role while on this station was pri- marily that of plane guard ship, standing by close astern of the carrier during launcher and re- coveries to render assistance should a plane go down or in case a pilot should have to bail out overhead. Our secondary job was to screen the carrier against any possible air, surface or sub- surface threats. Strikes around the clock, con- tinual, course and speed changes, and the con- stant need to watch for threats kept us alert at all times. M DIVISION While on Yankee Station, M Division is heavily called upon to produce the power which is neces- sary while operating with a launching aircraft carrier. Speeds of up to 30 knots are often times required. M Division is composed of MachiniStS Mates and Boiler Technicians, whose job is t0 operate and maintain the ship's main pr0PU15i0n machinery. The main steam plants involve foul' SOOPSI 850 degrees F boilers and two turbine reduction gear engines. Additional duties involve testing and treating boiler feedwater and conver- sion of saltwater to fresh water in order to meet the crew's needs for drinking, cooking, laundry, showers and cleaning water.
