Gunnery Department Whether it ' s cloudy or sunny or rainy, the Gunnery Department, while on the line, keeps a constant watch of the skies. Their guns are manned and ready for any stray enemy plane that might decide to wander too far from shore, or a whole squadron with only one purpose in mind. It is up to the Gunnery Department to stop them. That is only one of the jobs given the Gunnery Department while opera- tions are going on, ammunition has to be moved from the magazines to the assembly room. Working parties from Gunnery are always ready. Loading ammunition while in port is another prime function of importance for the deck hands of this department. Liberty is another function for which the Gunnery Department is partly responsible. The reliable Coxwains run the liberty launches in to the beach until all hours of the night and ore subject to immediate call if an emer- gency arises. It is not an easy job these boys have, and we of the BATAAN extend a hand of appreciation for a job well done. Lt. Knox Front Row, L. to R.: Ltjg. TeuschI, Ltjg. Sherman, Ens. Lewis, Ens.
