First Division consists ofa bunch of hard working Boat-
swainls Mates and undesignated seamen, who, together,
under the able leadership of Boatswains Mate First Class
Richard M. Stelloh, were responsible for all deck evo-
lutions forward. From the time "Now Set Condition 1-
ALPHA" rings throughout theship, to "Secure from 1-
ALPHA," often up to twenty hours later, these men, plus a-
few others, borrowed from other departments, can be found
swinging trucks, cargo and boats, from the ship, over the side
and later back on board again. Throughout MARG 1-88, they
continued to amaze the task force by their ability to perform
in all weather conditions. In addition to their key amphibious
assault roles, First Division was responsible for maintaining
the spaces forward of Frame 67, and issuing paint, deck tools
and cleaning gear to the rest of the ship. Underway, First
Division personnel could be found standing watches on the
bridge. When General Quarters sounded, they rushed to gun
mounts, the bridge, or to repair lockers, to stand by to react to
battle conditions. In port, they stood security rover, quar-
terdeck and foc'sle watches, liberty boat bow hook and shore
patrol.

Second Division is responsible for the operation and upkeep
of all deck equipment aft of frame 94, and the port quarterdeck.
With the aid of four 15 ton bombs, one 40 ton and one 70 ton
boom, Second Division's main responsibility is cargo and boat
handling. From loading stores for supply department to full
operational cargo offloads, Second Division can be relied upon
to complete 1-ALPHA tasks in a timely and efficient manner.
Underway, 2nd Division safely and expeditiously controls the
replenishment and transfer of fuel, ammo and stores. In port,
2nd Division runs the sail locker producing anything from water
proof covers for delicate electrical equipment and small arms
mounts to sewing patches on a shipmate's jacket. Maintaining
the flight deck for helo-ops, vertreps and refueling of helos is but
another one of Second Division's responsibilities. All said, "No
job is too big for the men of Second Division."

DIVI IO
Boat Division is made up of a unique
combination of Boatswain's Mates and
Enginemen. The main function of this di-
vision is amphibious operations in which
assault landing craft are utilized for trans-
porting marines and cargo to the beaches.
In between landings, they tind time to
carry mail, haul cargo and help lost ma-
rines find a home. Aside from the normal
work load, this division contributes a
great dealt in many deck evolutions, by
manning the motor whale boat during
flight quarters, man overboard, and un-
derway replenishments. The enginemen
work long strenuous hours keeping the E1
Paso's boats in top running order, often in
adverse conditions. In performing these
day to day duties one can easily see that
this division takes great pride in El Paso's
boats.

Underway in the Mediterranean, time 1330 +2B, Weather, clear Sum,
skies, wind off the bow at 12 knots. As the sunlight glints off the uy
barrels, the gun crew stands ready, alert and silent. g n
Suddenly, a "Fire Mission" comes in. There's land on our starboard
beam, range 6600 yards, a target awaits destruction. With the Command
"Batteries released MT3l, commence fire!" there is a flash and a loud
report. The first of many rounds to be fired is on its way down-range at
over 2700 feet per second.
This shot falls long and to the right. Drop 500 yards and set right 10
mils deflection. Set sight, load, shoot when on target, fire. Ten seconds
later the shot arrives on target. Switch to rapid salvo, "Fire for Effect "
The bombardment lasts for two minutes, cease fire. Bores clear, 24 rounds
expended.
Hard over on the helm, the ship responds unmasking mount 34. Again
"Batteries released, commence fire!" with a flash and a boom, more hi H
explosive ammunition heads down range to the target. Spot applied "Fic
for Effect." With a flick of a switch, rapid continuous fire mode is
selected. In three seconds, all remaining rounds expended. Over a hun.
dred pounds of high-explosive ordnance arrives on the target nearl
simultaneously. When the last round hits and the smoke clears, what one!
was a target is now no more.

Although highly diversified, the primary
goal of A-Division is the repair and

throughout EL PASO. This division's
personnel are directly responsible for
the upkeep and operation of the ship's
steering gear, anchor windlass, air con-
ditioning, refrigeration, ship's service
diesel generators and all material han-
dling equipment. A-Gang is without a

The Quartermasters fQM'sJ of EL
PASO are a few dedicated men who
comprise the foundation of the Nav-
igation Department. Serving as
QMOW,s CQuartermasters of the
Watchj, they safely navigate the ship
underway and ensure the safe posi-
tioning of the vessel at anchorage. In
addition to standing watch, QM's are
tasked daily with maintaining nav-
igational instruments, correcting nav-
igational time and rendering proper
honors and ceremonies in accordance
with national observances and for-
eign customs.
Under the leadership of QMC
Hungerford and the guidance of QM1
Walker, the Navigation team QQM3
Brooks, QMSN Leaks, QMSN Lewis,
QMSR Dorsey and QMSR Deanj
safely piloted us around the Med into
new and exotic ports and most im-
portantly home again to family and
friends.

Radio Communications Division is re-
sponsible for rapid, reliable, and secure
communications between our command-
ers ashore and afloat using morse code,
voice, teletype, and satellite communica-
tions. Communications is a constantly
changing field and although morse code is
the oldest, it is still the most reliable, even
with modern advances such as satellite
communications. The radiomen also
maintain the military affiliated radio sys-
tem CMARSJ often used by our sailors and
marines to communicate with their loved
ones ashore.
The radiomen's mascot is Oscar the oc-
topus, representing the radiomen who
seemingly have eight arms while at work
in the Radio Shack, one arm on the tel-
etype, another answering the phone, an-
other taking messages off the broadcast,
another to answer the message pick-up
window, and another xeroxing messages.
"We are the voice of El Paso."

"OFF Division is a relatively new division
added since the El Paso's last med cruise. Fire
controlmen CFCJ make up G'OF,' Division and
perform both preventive and corrective
maintenance, as well as operate the highly
technical MK 15 MOD 2 close in weapons
system CCIWSJ - also known as phalanx. As
a result of their attention to detail, quick
response to casualties, and system expertise,
the FC's have achieved a better than 95'Mm up
time for both CIWS gun mounts over the past
two years. In addition to maintenance and
operation of the Phalanx System, the FC's are
also involved in various other shipboard ev-
olutions: ammunition handling, preventive
and corrective maintenance of the SNAP II
Computer System, micro-miniature repair,
damage control, condition 1-alpha and ship's
self defense force. Relatively new, "OF" Di-
vision has shown itself to be a strong, integral
part of the El Paso team. -

The mission of the Food Services Division is to
provide the crew of El Paso with wholesome, well
balanced meals served in an atmosphere that is
conducive to enjoyable dining. The S-2!S-5 Di-
vision consists of fifteen cooks feeding over five
hundred personnel each meal. For a typical meal,
the bakery provides 800 cookies, 36 pies, 1000
dinner rolls, 40 loaves of bread and 500 ham-
burger rolls. The cooks work long, hard hours
providing the crew with approximately 320
pounds of meat, 150 pounds of potatoes and 50
pounds of vegetables. This division's workload
requires these men to start the working day at
0400 and continue until 1900 everyday, including
holidays. Their pride and professionalism was re-
flected each day by the quality of food they pre-
pared throughout "Marg l-883'
