As R Divsion personnel are first to
point out, the "R" stands for "repair," not
"re-do." The word "repair," along with
"maintenance" and "damage control," describes very
well the function of the division.
R Division shops are kept busy day and night, seven days a week, effecting
repairs to the ship's hull, strenght members, firemain, ventilation and
plumbing systems.
Hand-in-hand with repair is maintenance. The division's shops are
engaged in a never-ending program of PMS and maintenance of the hull and
piping and ducting systems.
Damage Control is another key word in the division's definition. R
Division personnel for the heart of any repair party, and the division is
responsible for all damage control fand fire-fighting gear.
Finally, R Divsions shops are microfactories, producing custom-made items
for offices and working spaces.
