New LCDR J. A. Bianco Navigation Officer THE NAVIGATION DEPARTMENT is com- posed of Quartermasters, Yeomen, Person- nelmen, Hospital Corpsmen and a Postal Clerk. They chart our course, handle the ship's paperwork, provide medical care and process the mail. The Quartermasters prepare the tracks for our travels and during this cruise they guided us through the many straits and pas- sages in order that we might reach our destinations safely. Particularly noteworthy was their performance while transiting the Torres Straits and Great Barrier Reef en- route Australia. From piloting to celestial navigation, theirs is a never ending task. It has often been said that the Navy floats on paper rather than water and to see the ship's office staff at work you might believe it. From arranging transportation for person- nel being separated or going on emergency leave to keeping each and every service rec Ord e01'1'GCt, the Yeomen and Personnelmen PeI'fOI'm a very necessary job. Shetsl adequate pharmaceutical supplies and the knowledge to administer them is the hallmark of the Corpsmen. Medical inspections, sick call, scheduling medical and dental appointments prior to in-port periods, and helicopter details kept them busy for the duration of this deployment. Their knowledge and dedication were evi- denced by the quick recovery of the few crew members sick or injured. Mail Call is the most popular word passed over the lMC, and the friendly Postal Clerk insured the rapid sorting of letters and packages to the eager crew. Behind the scene, he picked up mail from the mail boxes, sorted handled and delivered it to the helo, re- plenishment ship or post office and returned with the crew's mail from family and friends. Navigation, medical care and ship admin- istration are, then, the responsibility of the Navigation Department. Although the small- est department in terms of personnel assigned its tasks are quite diverse, and its contribu- tion to the safety, health and morale of all hands is unquestioned.
