E Division is composed of approximately 25 electrician's mates (EMs) and
12 interior communications technicians (ICmen). Almost every operation aboard ship,
routine or emergency, reuires electric power for its accomplishment. A ship that has
lost electric power has lost her capability as a fighter.
EMs are directly concerned with the operation and maintenance of the equipment used to
generate and distribute power circuits an equipment throughout the ship.
The size and complexity of Oklahoma City require that a great amount of circuitry be
devoted to the transmission of information from remote locations to various command
centers within the ship. The maintenance and repair of this circuitry is the main
function of the ICmen. This covers everyting from the sound-powered phones to the
voice tube bell circuit, from the latest gyro compass systems to closed circuit television
- with a vast array of equipment in between.
