V1 - Rep 8,
1958 - 1960

Let me know when you were aboard so I can add you to "Ships Company / Air Group / Marine Detachment Pages".

This Page Updated 09.12.07 gwf

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.
