B Division 1976 - 1977
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CV62

"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.
