 "!@#$%^&*, who cut off the water . . .
 and just after I got all lathered up."
 If you have ever been caught in that situation, the grim thoughts
 you were having were probably directed at B Division, the operators
 of the ship's fresh water pumps. Thankfully the hard working men of
 B Division make sure that abrupt fresh water interruptions are
 infrequent.
 
The primary job of B Division is operating and maintaining theboilers that provide steam for propulsion, catapults and hotel
 services. These boilers consume more fuel than all the aircraft,
 boats and auxiliary equipment combined.
 
The nearly 130 men in this division are divided into four basicareas: The main machinery rooms, the oil and water test
 laboratory, the ACC shop and boiler repair shop,
 and represent the BT and BR ratings.
