One of this division's main functions is to maintain a constant state of readiness in all the ship's deck winches, anchor windlass, steering engines, boats' engines, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment and other auxiliary machinery. All of these are important, but most of us feel that without those air condition units our mission in the tropical climates would be near impossible. ivision ENS Jacobsen Standing: FA Frantum NlIVl3 Strong NlNl3 Simecek FN Seiser EN3 Conner . , , , . .

These stack gas snipes , as they are sometimes called, are responsible for keeping TALUGA's four boilers in top operating condition and providing a constant source of power to the ship's main engines, turbo-generators, and auxiliary machinery. Their job, without a doubt, is one of the hottest and dirtiest as they must clean and repair their boilers constantly to keep them operating at optimum efficiency.
