DASH Division, the THOMASON's airdale contingent, is responsible for maintaining ' and flying our drones, which are highly maneuverable helicopters that carry anti- submarine torpedoes. Being a segment of the Naval air wing, DASH is sort of a hy- brid division for a destroyer. They obtain most of their parts from naval air stations rather than fleet supply depts, and their maintainance and operation schedules are prescribed by Naval Air Command. Thus, regardless of what the ship is doing, they must fly the drones a certain amount of time per month. Landing a drone on a destroyer can be risky business. The safe landing area is only about fifteen feet square, and that small spot is constantly rolling, pitching, and moving ahead. The result is that occasion- ally, drones are lost, and that is what happened to us in April, when we were just a day out of San Diego. The drone had been landed but only one restraining strap had been secured. A large roll caused the drone to break the strap, slide off the helo deck, and go through the cable safety netting and into the ocean. Fortunately, no such bad luck occurred the rest of the cruise.
