MOZIER One definition of a warship is a mobile seagoing platform designed for the delivery of its weapons . FARRAGUT has probably the most versatile weapons systems ever put on one warship. With our Terrier missiles, our gun batteries, and our Anti-Submarine War- fare weapons, we can take on any foe, Over, on, or under the seas. The men who man these systems, which in a sense are the ship's rea- son tor being, are the men of the Weapons De- partment: the Missile Technicians, Sonarmen, Gunner's Mates, Boatswain's Mates and Fire Control Technicians.
