My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.

This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.

I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.

Thank You All
For Your Support

U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CVA-62
Engineering Department


"Conserve water . . . take a Navy Shower"


The very fact that hot water is available for the use of
INDEPENDENCE crewmembers when they want it is one of the
reasons that M Division is so important to the ship.

More important than just shower water, this division has
the responsibility for the operation, repair and
maintenance of the main steam propulsion engines,
steam turbine electric generators, and
fresh water distilling plants.

Located in each of the four main machinery spaces, the
main engines receive 1200 PSI superheated steam from
the boilers and use it to generate up to 70,000 hp to
turn each of the four screws. On days when there is no
"natural wind," the main engines can propel the ship
with enough force to create up to 30 knots of "man made"
wind. Without this wind, the launching and recovery
of jet aircraft would be virtually impossible.

The eight electric turbogenerators are each capable of
producing up to 1500 KW of 450 volt, 69 HZ power.

M Division - owners and operators of the
"INDY power and light company."
