They drop and raise the anchors at sea detail, handle lines, maintain the gig and perform many other tasks requiring expert seamanship. They also share the job of controlling and firing the BENHAM ' S guns. The focsle, commands the direct view of the Skipper and must be kept ship shape at all times, a job, though not easily accomplished because of the constant pounding of sea, always well done. With the Second Division there is intense, but friendly rivalry and excellent co-operation, forming an outstanding team on the ship.

Thomas GMC 3rd Row - R.T. Greany RMC, T. Smith CSC It has been often said, Make Chief and retire to the CPO quarters. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Upon these men rest heavy responsibilities. It is the expert knowledge of their specialties which makes them so valuable to the Navy. But they are more than just spec- ialists in a rate. They are specialists in the Navy. Behind each Chief, there are many years of service. But, time alone does not qualify a man for Chief. It is the experience that goes with that time. It is the application of energy towards their rate. It is their devotion to the Navy. Constantly advising their officers and teaching their men, a CPO is an invaluable part of the service. His expertness is most important, es- pecially on a Destroyer.

They have a big job and they do it well. Their jobs are very simiiiar to those of the first division in that they maintain and care for the appearance and armonent on the after half of the ship. Every one of these men work hard at handling lines, fueling, mooring, and at many other jobs. Definitely, they are not strangers to the Navy ' s favorite tools, the chipping hammers and the paint brush. They maintain the motor whale boat and provide coxwains and bow hooks to run it for liberty parties. The Second Division can always be counted on to perform any of the many jobs that arise aft of frame 72.
