STG3 H. TMSN G. Winslow Cloud SN D. SN J. Dillon Granese During the WestPac cruise, the men of Fox Division were required to maintain complex ASW equipment, stand routine watches, make BT drops and man the fatho- meter when required. In addition to their normal duties, Fox Division personnel were assigned to various stations during the ship's many underway replenishments throughout the cruise. During gunfire support, Sonar Technicians stood duty as bridge bearing takers and as members of the plotting room crew. Sonarmen triggered all 5 f 38 cal. projectiles fired. Torpedomen and Asroc Gunners Mates manned the gun mounts, handling rooms, the Dire ctor, 50 cal. machine guns, and positions at gun control, while conducting Gunfire support. Even though the men spent many long hours on other duties, their equipment was kept in top shape throughout the cruise and their performance was outstanding in all respects. Fill 'er up and don't forget the green stamps. l EN1 C, ETR2 D. EN2 H. Lawson Schlicht Goodwin ATN3 D,Beh1 SN S. SN B. B ednarczyk B ryant, J r

Haven't you ET's got that gear up yet? OI Division is made up of Radarmen and Electronics technician. The darkworld of CIC is where the radarmen spend their time while the ET's may be found around tubes, wires, resistors, or black boxes. The work of OI Division commenced the minute the ship departed Newport, for it was then that CIC began gathering, pro- cessing, displaying, evaluating and dissem- inating vital information to the bridge. The division can be especially proud of the fine job it did while BROWNSON served on the gunline. The radarmen divided into two gun- Contact? - All I see is a dot! fire support teams, spent many long hours plotting targets, communicating with the spotters, radar navigating and doing other jobs essential for the successful firing of over 3000 rounds of combat ammunition. Every man in the division can be proud of knowing that he performed in an outstand- ing manner throughout the deployment. Spe- cial praise must be given to Chief James who, aided by Lett RDI, Clous RDI, and Jones ETI, developed a highly competent and professional division.
