Toledo (CA 133) - Naval Cruise Book

...the'power'... Q E stands for Electrical-and how much the Mighty T depends on electrical-power! Without it, she could run a few pumps and her main engines-but what else ? There would be no lighting, no communications, no radar, not even fresh water. Her guns could be trained around by hand very slowly, but without power who can keep a bead on a modern iet? E DIVISION supplies that power from four turbo-generators and two emergency diesel generators, enoughielectricity to supply a small city, which the TOLEDO is, in a sense. Electrician's mates, interior communications electricians, and firemen, about forty-five men in all, belong to E DIVISION. They work in several separate gangs, though the men interchange periodically to gain experience in all fields. Electrician's mates work in the lighting, power, distribution, and ordnance power gangs as well as in the battery shop. I.C. electricians care for all shipboard communications, sound-powered telephones, squawk boxes , telegraph systems, and public address systems. In addition, they maintain the ship's two big gyro-compasses and operate the daily movies for the crew. Working with electricity can be dangerous. It requires the utmost vigilance and strictest observance of safety precautions at all times. Safety is the watchword of E DIVISION and training is the path to safety. All menin the division are qualified by Class A schools or by extensive shipboard instruction. At sea and in port, twenty-four hours a day, these men stand watches, making sure that the TOLEDO is getting her power, and standing ready to repair any fault in her vast electrical system, whether it be a burnt-out light bulb or a maior casualty.
