Distributed installed and stand alone DC welders were located in
strategic locations throughout the ship to provide rapid
access for use in both routine and emergency repairs. In
larger ships the welders were grounded directly to
the ships hull and plug in outlets similar to electric
power outlets installed. Repair personnel could then
access welding equipment without breaking water or
firetight boundaries. This also reduced the amount of
welding cable required to to reach the scene of a
casualty.
