extracted text (Extract Text): AN INTENSIVE, 14-week training
course turns ambitious young
carpenter's mates, steam fitters, and
machinist’ mates into “underwater
mechanics” at the Navy's diving and
salvage school, Pier 88, North River,
New York City. More than 400 blue-
Jackets now enrolled, and 50 more vol-
unteering every two weeks, will help
fill the pressing need for men Who
know how to raise sunken ships all
over the world. Diving assignments
from moored floats, in water so murky
that a student must work by sense of
feel, apply classroom lessons. Photos
on these pages show some of the exer-
cises that novices learn to perform.
Eventually they become able to open
and close valves and repair piping in
a vessel on the bottom, and to apply
patches and bulkheads of many types.
