The division also has been primarily responsible for keeping the ship looking good throughout the deployment. In port, and during fair weather at sea, First Division seamen and Petty Officers can be seen topside from sunrise to sunset chipping, sanding, preserving and painting. Their responsibilities are many- fold and include nearly all of the main weather deck, all small boats and associated equipment, ground tackle, the helo hanger and flight deck, all life rafts and safety equipment and the ship's cleaning gear locker. Additionally, while underway, First Division is also responsible for providing watchstanders 24 hours a day for lookouts and to steer the ship. The seamen in Deck are hard working. Often working eighteen hours a day while underway or twelve in port feven liberty portsj, they still have found time to pursue other interests ranging from liberty in exotic oriental ports to studying for advancement to transfer into various technical ratings. The sights we've seen have been many and varied, and we've had a lot of unforgettable exper- iences.
