Clang! Clang! All hands man your battle stations! Bogey overhead! No! No! Coming in low over the water on the starboard beam! Where ' s the bogey? WHERE ' S THE BOGEY???!!! Boss, get off of the 5JP. Ask plot where it is. Oh. . . .there isn ' t any bogey. Well, set Condition One Easy Able Able. Maybe there will be a bogey. Might be a Flash Red anyone of these nights. It ' s 0300 already and there isn ' t any point in letting all these people go fjack to their sacks now. The Gunnery Department, with seven hundred or more men and forty-five officers from every State in the country, represents the largest gathering of insomniacs and sleep-walkers on the Cleveland. Only in the Gunnery Department could individuals be found who could hit the deck running, climb five ladders, untangle phones, track real and fictitious bogeys, train in and secure, and hit the sack again without waking up once. But the name Gunnery Department is a misnomer. An appropriate appellation would involve a long hy- phenated title suggesting such collateral duties as .spud- peeling, mess-cooking, side-cleaning, scraping and paint- ing, security watches, any and all working parties, stores-handling, boat-handling, plane-handling, and, when spare parts might be obtained, pan-handling. Then there are the lookouts, radar men, aviators and Marines. A complex organization of men and machines operating as one, which is proud of its record from Africa to Tokyo. Score: Nineteen bombardments, five planes, three ships, one mine, and one small white seagull.
