B Division 1972 - 1973 U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE
 
"Jeepers, 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 the boilers 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 basic areas: The main machinery rooms, 
the oil and water test laboratory, the ACC shop 
and boiler repair shop, and represent the BT and BR ratings.
