Xl Now this is the way it's done, Boots! Third Division men of the Deck Department are the ordnance experts of the ship. These Gunner's Mates are responsible for the efficient operation and maintenance of the ship's guns. The task of inspecting, testing, re- pairing and replacing is a tedious and never ending one: but when the time comes to shoot and the com- mand Commence Firew is given, all the hard work and greasy hands are forgotten in the pride of watching the swerving projectiles rush out to meet the target. Such is the life of a Gunner,s Mate, and Third Division on the USS BELLE GROVE. We came, we saw, we shot ....
