NIGHT WATCHMEN In the Navy, Watchstanding is a chore that plagues most men every few days, is carried on in addition to regular Work. There are numerous types of Watches -from keeping an eye on Water levels in the hoiler room to deck pacing with a rifle. The Air Group had three to six men on Watch at all times, looking for fires, gas and oil leaks, and to make sure that closely parked planes did not Work loose with the pitch and roll of the ship. Most integrity and security Watches are of four hours' duration, and go on 'round the clock. By far the loneliest is the ulVlid Watch, from midnight to 0400, when the Watchstandersgare virtually alone.

THE AN TIETAM E ER SLEEPS Comparative silence falls over ship at taps, but Work goes on. At taps, many men go to sleep, but many others are just starting their day's work. Men are working on air- craft, getting them ready for the dawn strike. Bombs, rockets and ammunition are being handled throughout the ship. The galley is a beehive of activity as break- fast and even dinner are being prepared. Q Up on the bridge, many men move silently in a dim red light to keep the ship on course - in the right spot within the Task Force. Below in the Engine Room many others are working to supply the ship with power to move forward, power for lights. The evaporators are still turning out water at the rate of 90,000 gallons every day. While many men sleep, many others are hard at work. The Antietam never actually sleeps - but the comparative silence of night-time routine was captured by the camera through the use of a long time exposure. Men were moving in front of the camera, but they moved often enough and fast enough so that no image was recorded on the film.
