At left, a working party passes boxes of supplies from the flight deck to the mess decks via the starboard side of the 01 level and the main deck. The ship is anchored in Au- gusta Bay, Sicily for battlegroup turnover. Bowenlife 37

At left, fiM3 Johnson is suspended 20 feet above the ship s water line as he paints around Bowen s hull number prior to the deployment. keeping Bowen looking sharp is no Easy project With a division of just over 20 men, keeping BOWEN free of running rust is no easy job for the boat- swain ' s mates and seamen of First Division. Particularly challenging is the project of keeping the port and starboard sides of the ship, the most visible part of the ship, looking like they were just paint- ed yesterday.
