Second Division is composed of Gunner ' s Mates and Fire Control Techni- cians. ENS J. L. BENSON was Second Division Officer. Chief Gunner ' s Mate B. H. BARNES and WARSON, GMG1 head- ed the gunner ' s mates while HARNELL, FTG2 and PERGL, FTG2 led the Fire Controlmen. Gunner ' s Mates can usually be found hanging around the gun shack when not busily checking magazine temperatures, cleaning guns and their mounts, and play- ing with the Jungle Jim assortment on the fantail called VDS. Fire Control Techni- cians are responsible for the fire control equipment - astounding logic! Since they don ' t have a Jungle Jim they have to use the gun director. When properly employ- ed this will turn ' round and ' round like a merry-go-round. Like First Division, Second Division had a fine record during the cruise. It was through their effort that we scored an outstanding on our long range surface shoot and were the only ship in our divi- sion to achieve a passing grade on the short range shoot. This success will soon be denoted by the E on the director. We receive ammunition, Shoot it, and clean it up. I just love Condition III 19

«CT What do you mean we blew a fuse, it ' s not plugged in. The Third Division in the Weapons Department is what else, but - Third Division. Composed of Sonarmen and Torpedomen with the Gunnery (not Weapons, but Gunnery) Yeoman thrown in because he has no place to go. This divi- sion is concerned with Anti-Submarine Warfare. The Division Officer , LT(jg) P. T. FINCH, had plenty of assistance (many argue that he needed it) from Chief DANGAN, GRAMLICH, TM1, and a little guy named Slim . Nevertheless Third Division copped its share of achieve- ments too. Several initial contacts and kills during ASW Exercises testify to the skill of both the Sonarmen and Torpe- doman. MR. BENSON, I told you ' gun ' is spelled Hurry up, get a bucket. Good buy, cruel world. Please, I ' d rather do it myself. But Sonarmen don ' t have to wear hats. 21
