Visibility is just part of the job F or USSBOWEN ' S boat- swain ' s mates, visibil- ity is just part of the job. rio matter what job they- ' re involved with, the results of First Division ' s work is there for the whole ship to examine. Consider, for example, rig- ging the accomodation lad- der for small boats when the ship is anchored off the coast during a port visit. It ' s almost a division- wide evolution, said BMl Claude Ward, leading petty officer of First Division. There ' s a lot of heavy equipment. If the J bar davits, outng- ger, lower platform or H frame is defective in any way, the ship ' s boats, which are also run by First Division, will not be able to transport BOWEn sailors to liberty on the beach. The ship ' s moonng lines are another critical responsi- bility of the boatswain ' s mates, and one that they do not take lightly. Splicingjust one of the 6-9 mooring lines which are used to moor the ship to a pier can take a couple of hours according to BMl Ward. Boatswain ' s mates also carry much of the re- sponsibility for underway re- plenishments, bridge watchstanding, and the pres- ervation and appearance of the majonty of the ship ' s topside spaces.
