-1-? Because of ALBANY'S powerful weapons capability, her presence acts as a deterrent to aggression by any potential enemy. Within the Weapons Department is a group of highly skilled men trained to service, operate, and provide security for ALBANY'S sophisticated weapons systems. F-1 Division maintains and operates the guidance systems for the long range Talos antiaircraft missile, while Third and Fifth Divisions handle the missiles fore and aft, respectively. F-2 Division is responsible for the shorter range Tartar antiaircraft missile system. F-4 Division mans the Weapons Direction Equip- ment which through complex radar systems is capable of detecting and tracking enemy aircraft at great dis- tances. In addition to her antiaircraft power, ALBANY is capable of seeking out and destroying the enemy below by the use of ASROC and torpedoes, systems which come under the expertise of Sixth Division. Fourth Division's Old Faithful are the 5 38 gun mounts, which provide a backup to the missile systems. The very fact that these guns survive in this era of electronic weaponry is enough to convince one of their capabilities. As part of the Weapons Department, the Marine Detachment, Seventh Division, provides internal security for ALBANY'S weapons systems and mans one of the 5 gun mounts. In addition MARDET provides the spit and polish for frequent honors and ceremonies so common aboard a Flag Ship and gives us the traditional military presence when required. Q: V ' U . ll ll! la, K' l
