LCDR BARBOUR COUNTY ' S deck per- sonnel continuously prove that they are capable of handling any task; be it amphibious assaults, UNREP de- tails, LST beaching ops, or even tow- ing minesweepers for 12,000 miles! Open air is the domain of these salty sailors and the plethora of equip- ment on the main deck is theirs to operate. From the bow ramp to the stern anchor they train to master any operation an LST can be called upon to undertake. LCDR Jim Taplett heads this de- partment and brings with him a working knowledge of BARBOUR COUNTY. Prior to serving as XO on USS EXCEL he was our ships Operations Officer! A graduate of the United States Naval Academy brings with him eleven years of Navy experience and ten years of sea duty. TAPLETT As often happens with numerous personnel and great responsibility, tasks are divided. In our case, into thirds. 1st Division concentrates on the forecastle and its associated equipment. These men are experts at operating the 40 ton bow ramp and the 18,000 lb bow anchor. Beaching evolutions are unique to LST ' s and these men have skills that few learn and fewer master. When not engaged in special operations such as beach- ings, assaults and boat operations, they team up with 2nd Division to man the bridge watches. Thus, not only do they perform the special evo- lutions in far away places, but they actually drive the ship out there! Tru- ly indicative of dedicated profession- als! DECK DEPARTMENT 1st DIVISION LTJG Brian Petersen is most of- ten seen conning the ship or su- pervising the anchor detail. A graduate of Kansas University, he has been onboard since June, 1985 and is completing his second WESTPAC deployment. 2nd DIVISION Ensign Roy Woolwine, besides managing 2nd Division, acts as the ship ' s legal officer. After graduat- ing from Virginia Military Insti- tute and getting turned down for the lead role in Rambo he report- ed for duty in December, 1986. E
