E Division 1958 - 1959
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE

"Hello, Special Services . . . what?
Laundry! I dialed Special Services"

The IC men of E Division tell us that complaint is
sometimes the only conversation they have in a
day . . . just complaints about the phone system.
But maintaining over 900 telephones on the ship
is no easy task.

The various work centers of the Electrical or "E"
Division are responsible for maintaining the
ship's electrical power, lights sound powered
phone circuits, public address systems,
telephones, squawk boxes and all other
electrical circuits.

Other E Division men run the battery locker, the
catapult and elevator shop, flight deck lighting,
and the all important electrical safety shop. And
lest we forget . . . the heart of the INDY's off-duty
entertainment . . . the movie booth belongs to
E Division

The men of E Division cover a lot of territory from
the mast head lights to the gyros in after steering.
