The Auxilliaries, or A Division, is probably the most diversified on the
Oklahoma City. Primarily a service division, most of its time and manpower are
centered around the provisions of "hotel services" on the command ship.
Enginemen, machinist mates and machinery repairmen struggle together to maintain installed
air conditioning and heating systems. Associated with these services, A Division
also maintains all refrigeration equipment, scuttlebutts and laundry and galley equipment.
A well-equipped machine shop run by this division provides technical assistance and
fabricates needed parts for myriad used throughout the ship.
An evaporator "gang" provides water to feed the boiler and quench the crew's
thirst while at sea.
