Although a ship must operate as ateam, the duties of individuals vary immensely, For Fox Division,this is expecially true, with Sonarmen, Torpedomen, and Fire Controlmen . . . . all represented within the di- vision. From the underwater safe- guarding by the Sonarmen, and close association with the Torpedomen in carrying out ant-submarine war- fare: to the excellent performance in shore bombardment by the Fire Controlmen, there is never a dull moment in this division.
