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 Marine Detachment, frequently designated as the Eighth Gunnery Division, is an important and integral part of the ship's complement. Marines have been serving aboard U.S. Naval vessels for 182 years. Navy Regulations assign Marine Detachments the missions of providing a unit trained for field operations ashore, providing gun crews, and providing interior security. Our Marine Detachment consists of 47 Marines, commanded by Captain C.C. Buckely, who relieved Captain W.E. Hutchison, in Hong Kong. Besides maintaining a well-trained rifle platoon reinforced with mortars, machine guns, and anti-tank weapons, Marine Detachment personnel have additional responsibilities and duties, including manning mounts 3l and 33, serving as orderlies for the Admiral, Chief of Staff, Captain, and the Executive Ofhcer, rendering honors to visiting dignitaries, and guarding and maintaining Bremerton's brig. 4 s s 3 CAPT C.C.
