M Division Year Unknown U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE

"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."
