At almost any time fexcept underway, of coursel, you'll find Seamen from First Division hard at work on a stage over the side, life jackets donned, scrubbing, chipping or paint- ing away. lf not over the side, First Division men may be found turning to in any of their many spaces-O2 Deck or anywhere along the starboard wingwall or starboard passageway main deck.

Last year Teames, BM3, was chosen as the most all-around, squared-away sailor aboard the BELLE GROVE. This is probably one of the hardest' working Divisions aboard the ship, frequently turning to from sunrise to sunset, keeping ahead of the rust and corrosion which accumulates so rapidly. Together with the rest of the crew they keep the oldest LSD in the Pacific Fleet' look- ing sharp and shipshape. -:ar '5J FT it is tg - re. -.sJ 1iZ.:-satife-rQf,riE:as5.121sc:a-.fxv-iff-J-Dye-swH-M-fe we -A M . , , , , ..
