=f. Electrical systems and generators.= Electricity for the ship’s lighting system and for the electrically operated equipment are furnished by Diesel or gasoline-driven generators. In case the main generator fails, an emergency generator starts automatically. If all generators should fail, batteries supply the power. (See fig. 14.) =g. Lifeboats.= The ship carries two 26-foot power whaleboats, two oar-propelled lifeboats, life rafts, and a number of small rubber floats. (See figs. 1, 15 and 16.) The two life rafts (figs. 1 and 16) are mounted on skids at an angle of about 45°. Each skid has a releasing device that permits quick release of the raft into the water or will let it float free if the ship sinks. =h. Mooring and towing.= (1) Installed on the main deck at the ship’s stern is a combination towing machine and anchor windlass. It hoists and lowers the two 3,000-pound Danforth anchors. When used for towing, it carries the towline on a reel and pays it out and hauls it in automatically to keep towing tension constant. (2) For handling the two bow anchors, a windlass is installed on the forecastle deck. (See fig. 17.) [Illustration: _1. Mackay 156.4 short-wave transmitter._ _2.

Fire fighting.= (1) The principal fire-fighting equipment consists of four motor-driven pumps, each with a capacity of 3,000 gallons per minute (gpm) and capable of 125 pounds pressure. (See fig. 13.) They are connected to an 8-inch fire main arranged on a loop circuit around the main deck. Spaced equally along this circuit are eight 2-1/2-inch hydrants equipped with fog or spray nozzles. Throughout the ship are twenty-eight 1-1/2-inch connections. (2) There are two 1,000-gpm fire monitors. One is located forward on the forecastle head and the other is abaft the stack. (See figs. 1, 18, and 19.) (3) A fixed carbon-dioxide smothering system is used in engine and tank compartments, bilges, and galley. Hand-operated extinguishers are located in all parts of the vessel. =j. Crew’s quarters.= (1) Quarters for most of the enlisted members of the crew are located on the first platform deck. Also on this deck are the laundry room, linen lockers, and the ship’s post exchange.
