Page 129 text:

Seldom in the annals ot the Navy has a cruiser's entire starboard three-inch battery won E's. Led by Goddard, GM2, and his Gunner's Mates, Seventh Division compiled the phenominal record during the cruise which put E's on mounts 33, 35, 37, 39 and 3lO. Though manned by Marines, mount 33 is maintained by Seventh Division. The rewards tor excellence in the less glamorous duties ot the deck torce are not so readily obvious. But Seventh Division's invaluable know-how concerning tueling at sea is vital in the lite ot Bremerton. Under Richey, BMT, the deck gang also carries out the important every- day tasks ot keeping the atter starboard quarterdeck area and several lower deck spaces in top shape. The number three utility boat is run by Seventh Division too. FIRST ROW llett to rightl: Garcia, E. W., Spencer, N. H., Palmer, G. E., Vienne, A. S., Jr., Hanna, A. L., LTJG J. E.

The clean, well-scrubbed after port quarterdeck area is characteristic ot the good maintenance work done by Carlson, BMT, his Boatswain's Mates, and deck torce.
