Does 52, 54 and 56 equal four? ln Fourth Division it does and the gunner's mates of the five inch mounts will tell you they do. ln Singapore during gunnery ex- ercises they proved it as all Fourth Division mounts received the gunnery E's , adding a hash mark to mount 52. The division is also responsible for the port side clean- liness of the ship, from the quarterdeck to the Paint Locker. Starting the day even before reveille, they keep the deck, paint work and bright work spotless with sweat, swabs and paint brushes. Throughout the day, under the supervision of ENS J. C. Mahlstedt, Fourth Division men clean their mounts, handl- ing rooms, and magazines in order to keep BREMERTON in the heighest state of readiness. handling amunition in mount 52

This can be heard during the early morning or mid-afternoon on the starboard quarterdeck. lt must be kept sparkling clean and Fifth Division personnel take great pride in keeping the ceremonial quarterdeck as white as ivory. Along with keeping the quarterdeck ship shape, they also man Number One Motor Whaleboat, and during re- plenishing and refueling they man the quarterdeck lines. When general guarters or IAA is sounded, they man all starboard five-inch batteries. During gunnery exercises in Singapore, mounts Sl and 55 added hashmarks to the coveted E they had won previously for two consecutive years. The 50 men, gunner's mates and boatswain's mates, are under the supervision of LTJG M. G. LaFave and ENS R. E. Tietz.
