CWO R. P. Cassel • iiMtlTnTi Rodesky, A. P. GMCS I A lot of thanks must be given to the divers of the R-5 division on the Dixie. It was these few heroic underwater warriors that detected and corrected a serious leak that had develop- ed in our ships hull. The divers are on call at anytime of the day or night. Any type of work that requires underwater operations is handled by these men It is not uncommon that these men might surface with a handfull of Goodies that they brought up from the bottom. One must also remember the gallant torpe- domen that play such an important role in the make-up of the Dixie roster. The technical knowledge required to work on and repair the latest up-to-date underwater weapons is monu- mental. These men are often required to work long and tedious hours on the ' tin fish and then when they look forward to a few hours of relaxation, they find that they must deliver these fish to some destroyer out in the stream. i its i WC) J.C.
