DIVISION :W f ' - ' -H ' f l. ' .l.K Tt Left to Right:- 1 St Row — McDermott, Mischenko, Denham, MacKinnon, Rupp 2nd Row — Cornthwaite, Mitgang, Peterman, Anderson, Jenkins, Heath 3rd Row — Bolduc, Kellerman, O ' Neill, Marani, Marani, Scott, Lunacek When we come to think about it, actually, there are very few people who really understand the complex and exacting duties of the men of the Division. They have been doing their duties and doing such a good job of them for such a long time now, that we have long since come to take their work as granted. Because of the endless vigilance of the radarmen, under the super- vision of their leading petty officers, the ship can safely steam along at any speed , knowing the electronic eyes of the ship will inform her of all dangers. Then too, because of CIC, the ASW, Torpedo, and Gunnery Teams can perform their jobs with that much more precision. How often have we heard the word, ' ' Now the duty ET lay up to Radio CentraL Uncount- able are the number of hours that ET ' s spend in keeping the non fire-control electronics and the radio gear in that top notch operation that is necessary to carry out our functions in the fleet. Their tireless work has caused us at times to forget that because of them and all the other equally capable groups of men on board this ship, the BENHAM is what she is, a ship that we are all proud of.

C DIVISION Left to Right:- 1st Row — Lloyd, Bingham, Brunsink, Owen, Thornton, Girard, Kern 2nd Row — Gaeddert, Sommers, Wescott, Schroeder, Buclous, Bonnett Turn to is a by-word in the key areas operated by C Division personnel, the bridge, the radio shack, and ship ' s office. These are the men who make possible communications with the fleet and the outside . A Quartermaster ' s rate involves several different duties in his work on the bridge and in the chart house. He uses visual signaling when communicating with other ships. This includes semaphore, flag hoists, and the flashing light. Furthermore, he assists the Navigator by keeping the countless publications and charts up to date, and also assists the Officer-of-the-Deck in maintaining the ship ' s log. Another center of intraship activity is the radio shack. Twenty-four hours a day. Radiomen are kept busy handling all traffic which cannot be transmitted visually or by mail. As many as 20,000 messages have been sent out and received in a thirty-day period. Seen lounging around the radio shack is the number one morale booster aboard ship, the Teleman, who handles all the mail. He is responsible for procuring, sorting and distributing all the BENHAM ' s mail. The personnel in the ship ' s office round out the division roster. Efficeincy is at a premium as the Yeomen and Personnelmen tackle the million-ond-one miscellaneous duties which include the handling of special request chits, liberty cards, service records, the plan of the day, and all official correspondence pertaining to the running of the ship and crew.

E DIVISION r ' 1 % : Left to Right:- 1st Row - Davis, Kincaid, DiFrancisco, Yatsko, Guidice, Handon, Collins, Ryan, Ritchie, Pazen, Dalton, McCormack 2nd Row — MacHattie, Mixon, Babiak, Metzinger, Crandall 3rd Row — Vaughan, Heath, Kosch, Pryor, Morrison, Carpenter, Rideout, Verrilli, Wilensky, Cramer, L inson 4th Row — Spencer, Nelson, Collucci, Rauch, Ezzo, Reigle, Longford, Register, O ' Keefe, Justice, Reed 5th Row — Liverman, Quade, James, Lowenstein, Scott, Cook, Birch, Drenning The E Division is by far the largest division aboard the 3ENHAM, yet it consists of only two rates, ET ' s and MM ' s. Besides standing the rugged 4 on 8 off watches, the snipes are kept busy maintaining the complex, vital machinery which propels the ship and provides heat, water and electricty. Infallible knowledge is an absolute in the firerooms and boiler rooms. There can be no mistakes, no delays in these spaces. It is not unusual to see several grimy, unrecognizable figures emerge from a fireroom, and in a few mi nutes walk up to the quarterdeck in dress canvas ready to go ashore. This is truly a division that works hard and plays hard. To these men must be given credit for making our engineering plant most outstanding.
