While being one of the smallest divisions on the ship 2nd Division was nonetheless a veritable monster in performance. The highlight of this years deployment was undoubtedly the 26 days spent on the gunline during the months of June and July During the previous deployment the ship fired a total of 5000 rounds of 5 inch ammunition on enemy targets. This Year BUCHANAN was scheduled on the gunline for a total of only 26 days. No one expected to fire nearly as many rour1dS HS during the previous deployment However friendly ground and air spotters continued to ferret out enemy locati0nS and called for our accurate and devastating gun fire. BUCHANAN responded without fail and completed the gunline period with an exceSS of 5000 rounds fired and an impressive list of enemy emplacemeflfs destroyed . BUCHANAN s accomplishments did not come easy. Our can- tankerous 5 X54 mounts contributed many problems and throughout many long nights 2nd Division labored to keep Our QUHS fi in9.Th.ere was also ammunition to be brought aboard ship and stowed pr019CUl95 to move from one mount to another virtually every flight and Wowd you believe at the usual hour of three- in the morning? Team effort which is a by-word of the BUCHANAN sailor became DV0Ud'V apparent as Snipes emerged from their holes Radarmen lVlessc0ekS etc. volunteered to move projectiles at this strange hour so aIreadV Wed men could sleep. 2nd Division is a small, proud, efficient part of the total team-but pleased to stand up and be counted and concertedly happy T0 be BUCHANEEBS .
