R Division & Damage Control 1978 - 1979 
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CV62 Engineering Department
 
"Fire Fire . . . . away the nucleus fire party!"
 
blares the 1MC and members of Repair Division are 
on their way to combat one of the many emergencies 
which occur aboard an aircraft carrier on deployment.
When not holding fire or flooding drills. Repair 
Division is busy maintaining the hull, ship's boats 
and hundreds of miles of piping throughout the ship. 
A scored motorshaft, a padeye knocked off the hull 
by heavy weather, a crack in the jet-blast deflector, 
all are but a fraction of the many tasks performed by the shipfitter shop. 
The miles and miles of various pipes aboard 
INDEPENDENCE are maintained by the pipe shop, 
and repairs on the ship's boats are made by the  carpenter shop. 
R Division also provides the expertise for training 
the 800-man damage control and repair party 
organization and also provides the operational 
equipment to combat the most severe damage.
