These specialists rarely operate as an entity, Working together only at Sea Detail and the arnidship highline station. General Quarters finds the FT's in the Main Battery Director and down in Plot, the TM's manning the torpedo mounts, and the SO's listening intently to a Weird type of hi-fi--the sonar gear. 1 1 S 5 , ..., . rg--1-- - -- 4..'

While the Gunner's Mates practice individual artistry on the after mount, the deck force goes to war against weather. Weather is an unpredictable enemy, with a habit of saving his heaviest rolls until the fantail is well covered with red lead. The whole division turns out together for top teamwork in underway replenishment, for muster in the helo-hanger, and at Special Sea Detail. i 10
