BMl REDAR SECOND DIVISION is accountable for the working of the aft end of the ship. During our deployment to the Persian Gulf, this group was largely re- sponsible for the safe towing of the minesweepers. This task, though sound- ing easv enough, was unprecedented in Naval history. With no tech manual available to help, BARBOUR COUNTY ' S 2nd Division learned through trial and error. The willpower of these men, coupled with the sagacity of their LPO ' s enabled us to complete our task, thereby writing the tech manual! Being back aft, this group also deals with the loading of cargo. Utilizing our 10 ton booms thev lower equipment and supplies through the cargo hatch di- rectly to the tank deck. Also aft, is the flight deck and the maintenance re- quired therein. Many of our operations are so extensive that they are beyond the capabilities of even this competent division. Thus, 1st and 2nd often com- bine forces to tackle amphis ops, flight ops, towing, etc, etc. BM2 MARTINEZ BM2 RANNIKKO BM3 BINGHAM BM3 NILSON BMSN CRONK BMSN RIOS BMSN NATION SN CARGILE SN CHINCHAR BMSN HAYDEN SN WINKLER IMSN ADORNO SN STAFFORD SN LIQUORI 13
