J, D. FEDOR, LT WEAPONS OFFICER H. H. SIEBERT, LTJG J. LEDERHAAS, LT SECOND DIVISION OFFICER AS DIVISION OFFICER in A. R. BECKER, LTJG MISSILE OFFICER WEAPO DEPARTME T The Weapons Department, under the control of the Weapons Of- ficer, is composed of four divisions: First Division, Second Division, AS Division and Tartar Division. Together, these divisions are re- sponsible for the operation and readiness of the ship's armament, fire control and sonar systems, and for deck seamanship. For a major portion of this cruise, BUCHANAN's anti-aircraft missile system, gun battery and anti-submarine systems, ina maximum readiness condition, provided close support as a member of the Car- rier Task Forces conducting strikes to interdict the North Viet Nam effort. The highlight of this cruise, as far as the Weapons Department is concerned, came when BUCHANAN was called upon to fire its guns throughout an entire night against concentrations of Viet Cong troops. This was the first time for the BUCHANAN's guns under war time conditions. During this cruise, the deck force maintained their high standard of deck seamanship by successfully completing 58 highline evolutions and by keeping BUCHANAN looking its best for the 194 days since departing San Diego on this cruise.

Wf The ship's five departments all come under the direction of the Executive Officer who, in line with the Captain's desires, sets the standards to which we all adhere. The Exec is at the focal point of the chain of command which culminates with the Captain who has responsibility for everyone and everything aboard the ship. The Executive Officer ensures that the Captain is free from the minutiae of paper work and day to day routine occurence and administration, enabling the Captain to concentrate on the safe and effective operation of the ship in meeting her many and varied commitments. Lieutenant Commander W. H. Dunham is the Executive Officer of BUCHANAN. He reported aboard in March and saw us through our preparations for this cruise to WESTPAC. The Exec is a 1957 graduate of Annapolis. Since then he has served aboard USS PAUL REVERE QAPA-2485, USS GREGORY CDD-802y, and USS BERKELEY QDDG-155. He has also served in Washington D,C, in the offices of the Bureau of Personnel and the Secretary of the Navy.
