When the command is given the roar of 5-inch and 3-inch mounts is enough to make any enemy think twice before coming any closer. lt is Second Division's responsibility to see that the ship's guns are ready to respond to this command at all times. Many a gunner's mate has crossedhis fingers when the command was given, and many nights of fun were had by all, 'repairing casualties after the guns were fired. Let it never be said that a gunner's mate did not have fun when he finally did get ashore. . ..,,-1-f .f----A----f - ' ., . -,-.1-.-, .,-.,.,., ., -..w-1.-,,,.N1,-,-....-.--I W .....l.---A xg A' , V , , , . ., -,.,-Q I . 2 1. 1: QM. ........

Their abilities are varied between Fire Control Technicians, Sonarmen and Torpedomen. These three ratings compose a vital portion of the weapons department of EDSGN. For the FT's, jobs concerning the maintenance and upkeep of all fire control equipment is of major importance. The Sonarmen rely upon their skill, and together with the T M's carry out the responsibilities of the ship's entire Anti-Submarine Warfare system.
