i GUNNERY DEPARTMENT In the Gunnery Dept. we see a glimpse of the Mold Navy. First Divi- sion can boast of having the two oldest rates in the Navy. Before electronics and even .before electricity came into use, the Boatswain's Mate and the Gun- ner's Mate were rigging their lines and filling their guns with powder. Of course, since those times the Boats', and the '4Cunner have gone umodernv: From cannons to the newest modern complex guns, from the sails to the highly polished brass and decks, it is still the job of the Boatswain's Mate and the Gunner's Mate to help maintain and operate the ship at its highest battle efficency. lt might be said that Fox Division is where the Gunnery Department really goes modern , First we have the Fire Control Technicians. lt is their job to maintain and operate the complex electronic computors and radars that enable the big guns to fire Mon target . With faster and more maneuverable aircraft and more evasive surface craft the FT's are even more important. At sea as in port you will see the the F T's aligning guns and making checks on their equipment so that they will always be ready in case there is ever a need for their services. Then we have the Sonarmen. These are the people often called Ping Jockeys . It is their job to spend endless hours listening to the electronic ping , watching out for enemy submarines. Their job is made even more difficult by the fact. that everything in the water, including fish, give back an uecho . It is to SO's job to tell if that echo is sub or non-sub. You might see a Sonarman down in the hole with a meter, pair of test leads and a puzzled look on his face, for they must maintain their own electronic and fire control system. The torpedoman or NTubes , as he is sometimes called, has the job of maintaining torpedoes, torpedo launching equipment, and torpedo evasive devices. It is not uncommon to see him also with a meter, bending over one of his big fish, for he must also maintain his own intricate gear.
