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

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."
