The Motor Whale Boat MARSH, and DOMINGUEZ , all BM2 ' s, and many other good men. First Division ' s job is to keep the ship clean and well painted, care of the motor whaleboat, and handle all the rigging for underway transfer of fuel, stores, etc. Throughout the cruise they performed their job in an outstanding manner. The EVANS has a reputation for being one of the clean- est destroyers in the fleet and on the cruise we were without a doubt the best destroyer for deck seamanship in the HUK Group and perhaps in the SEVENTH Fleet. The evi- dence of this was the countless WELL DONE ' s we received from the Captain of the replenishment ship ' s we went along- side.

WEAPONS DEPARTMENT The Weapons Officer, LTJG M. J. BKUNO though. They set up a radio station and supplied the crew with music through the ship ' s entertainment system. As a result of their efforts, everyone on board can now tell the difference between Johnny Cash, Ernest Tubb and Eddie Arnold; and this is no small, achievement. The WEAPONS DEPARTMENT is headed by the Weapons Officer, LT (jg) M. J. BRUNO. He used to be the gun boss but they changed his title when the department stopped being the Gunnery Department and started being the Weapons Department. Why this happened, no one seems to know. It must be that the Navy is getting more sophisticated and gun boss seemed too old fashioned and crude. The Weapons Department has three divisions - not all of which are concerned with weapons. They can be easily remem- bered by their all too logical names - First Division, Second Division and Third Divi- sion. None of this means that First Divi- sion is the first division on the ship. It ' s just a name - like Weapons Officer. First Division is composed entirely of Boatswain ' s Mates. During the cruise they were led by the First Lieutenant (we won ' t discuss this title for obvious reasons), who was an Ensign, not a Lieutenant, Wayne CLIETT, known by everyone as TEX . He was very ably assisted by Master Chief Boatswain ' s Mate Paul ATTAWAY, TIMMONS, BM1, ALSTON, TIMMONS, R.L. , BM1; Master Chief Boatswain ' s Mate P.W. ATTAWAY: and ENS J. W. CLIETT. Now this one goes this way, and this one goes here Station the refueling detail
