This hard-worl ing group of men is responsible for maintaining the exterior of the ship ' s hull, most of the topside spaces, maintaining and operating the ship ' s boats, manning most special sea detail stations, and standing BMOW, helmsman, and lookout watches. Most junior personnel who re- port to the ship without specialized rating training are initially assigned to the division, which gives them an excellent opportunity to learn the ropes of the real navy before entering other, more specialized, fields.
