FIRST DIVISION First Division is responsible for all of the evolutions involving the art of deck seamanship. At the crack of dawn they start sweeping, swabing, chipping, preserving, and maintaining all the weatherdecks and topside spaces. They also stand Bos'n Mate, lookout and messen- ger watches on the bridge, and in the fog they station a fog lookout to insure safety to the crew. In between watches they may be expected to carry out some of the special evolutions such as refueling at sea, mail transfer by helo, boat transfers, personnel transfers by highline and anchor details. Whether at sea or in port, First Division spends many long hard hours and elbow grease keeping the Braine looking her best with their seamanship skills ,,,.m,,,,,,i,u,,,......A.,,,,,: ,,,, Y

GUNNERY DIVISION G Division is comprised of both Gunners Mates and Fire Control Technicians. The Gunners job is to keep his gun mounts in top working order at all times through frequent maintenance checks, to insure proper stowage of all ammunition in the magazines and to keep his gun crews qualified as experts. Before an exercise, whether in the air, on the surface or on land, it is not uncommon to find both Gunners and FT's working in the moonlight making final battery alignments. Right until firing time, the FT's are making final adjustments on their complex computers and director radars to insure peak performance during the exercise. This coordinated effort and hard work has Won many Big E's for the Weapons Dept. to be proud of. I
