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.
