FOURTH DIVISION The gunner ' s mates of our batteries and boatswain ' s mates of the deck and lower deck take pride in their work - different though it is - and succeed in making the Fourth Division a cohesive, smooth- running outfit. Raised and lowered, and kept in top shape at all times by our division, the port motor whaleboat is ready to answer any call. No wonder it was the guinea pig used to instruct officers in the motor whale-boat. When the loudspeaker system blares out with The officer of the deck is shifting his watch to the quarterdeck, the men snap to in getting the port accommodation ladder low- ered and ready so that the JOOD can shove off those first runs to the beach. The port quarterdeck is our responsibility as well, and many a JOOD has had to flee to safety on the landing of the ladder when the morning swab-down gets rolling. To round things out, the Fourth gives a hand in fueling operations too. The gunners keep the mounts in fighting shape, and the only blasts that come their way are those they make themselves during firing practice. An athletic-minded division, the Fourth fields a basketball, Softball, and touch foot- ball team.

MARINE DETACHMENT Since Presley O ' Bannon and the Shores of Tripoli, ' the Mediterranean has often seen U. S. Marines, but we doubt if it has ever seen a better looking, more smartly drilled outfit than the forty men of the BALTIMORE ' S Marine Detach- ment. Hand-picked for sea duty and ham- mered into shape by Capt. Martin, Lt. Herrin, and T Sgt. Ski Rosaschi, the Marines perform duties aboard the BALTIMORE as Captain ' s and Exec ' s or- derlies, and Sergeants and Corporals of the Guard. As the Honor Guard, they are the first unit to be seen by visiting digni- taries and are resplendent in their white- blue-white - provided, of course, that they have had two minutes warning. Acknowledged by all as one of the best gun crews aboard, they claim credit for more drones and sleeves than all other mounts. ' ' That ' s the way to shoot ' is the usual comment after every firing exercise. Though part of their duties includes running the ship ' s brig, oflf-duty hours are usually spent in affairs of a much brighter vein. Brinkley, McGowan, Van Kirk, and Whalebelly Luce can be especially counted upon to liven up the scene with their unusual awhs and tales of woe. Proud of their Marine Detachment, all can truthfully say : Best jarheads in the Med.
