ACC on 600# M-type
Has anyone heard of having Bailey ACC on a 600# M-type boiler? As an amateur Navy historian, a 1200# BT and a factory rep for Bailey, I'd never heard of such a thing, but I have a picture of the Bailey console onboard the USS NORTHAMPTON (CLD/CC-1), which had the 600# B&W M-types that all of her sisterships in the OREGON CITY class of heavy cruisers had.My biggest question is, if she had M-types, did the ACC control both furnaces or only the saturated side.

Walter. My BT hat pin came earlier this week. It's awesome. I had one that i ordered from Tin Can Sailors about 5 years ago. They no longer carry them and since then Iv'e been looking on the internet about once a month. Stand by to get underway. 30 in 36 out 1 back. That's the first bell you have to answer.
I ordered a couple of the hat pins from SeebeeCruiseBox.com that Alphonse recommended and they are great! Thanks Alphonse. Fires Lit, 1 Alpha!.
To all BT'S: I just found a web site that has BT hat pins for sale $4.00 + $2.00 shipping. It's www.seabeescruisebox.com. Look under large enlisted cap devices.
To All BT/S: One of my fromer ships the U.S.S. Yorktown CVS-10 is the lead ship at Patriots Piont in Mount Pleasant,South Carolina. Evey October i attens our annual reunion.I get to go down into # 2 fireroom and pretend i'm batting burners.The visitors stick to me like Velcro when they find out that i'm a former crewmember.My annual 15 minutes of fame. I'll be there this comimg October 11-13th.On the 13th which is a Saturday i'll be on the meet & greet panel from 1000-to 1400. Come by and i'll tell you some sea stories. I might even tell you some real facts about the ship too.The sad part it that you no longer hear all the sounds you would normally hear when the the ship was alive.
I attended BT "A"" school at GLAKES from Sept-73 to Nov-73. I graduated 3rd in class. Sure learned a lot in a very short time. Sure did enjoy the Steam Lab during the hot Indian Summer. Good training for WestPAC cruises.
Graduated from BT"A" School June of 1987.
Graduated from BT "A" School October of 1963. Was top of my class. I lost all my Navy stuff due to a house fire in the early 70's Does anyone have a copy of the graduation certificate they can scan and send to me. I can blank out your name and put mine in.I treid getting a hold someone at Great Lakes Service School Command for a replacement. No luck. Thank You.
