E Division 1966 - 1967
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CVA-62
Engineering Department
"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.

Had opportunities at various times to
visit INDY (CVA-62) while she underwent SLEP
in Philly, and also when she was moved to
Coronado and then again when she was
assigned to YOKO but never could find
the time. Now I can kick myself in
the butt for not having done so!
She was a steamer.........
the Steaming Deamon of Freedom.
USS stood for
