Involved in just about every evolution, division personnel played a major role in condition watches, gunfire support, mooring , and anchoring, pilot rescue, torpedo recovery, and normal steaming. More than sixty under- way replenishments without an injury at tests to their skill and experience in that evolution., Always on deck at reveille, First Division was primarily responsible for maintaining the ship at a high standard of appearance, an appearance certainly matching the best in the West. Every man will remember winning both the ship's softball and basketball tourna- ments held in Subic Bay, and that night on Yankee Station unrepping from the AF to the best of the service ship's rock and roll band. And how about the time when Cawthon and the boat gang worked two weeks straight putting the whaleboat into beautiful shape for Hong Kong only to mash in the bow against the mooring buoy after only five minutes in the water.
