LCDR J. D. Miceli Weapons Officer WEAPONS DEPARTMENT The weapons Officer provides the teeth that makes us a -ship- of-war. He is responsible for all ordnance, special and coven- tional, from receipt, through storage, to final delivery, either through the missile launcher or the muzzles of the 3 and 5 battery. He is responsible for all deck seamanship evolutions from rigging the highline for trapsfer at sea to operating the boats for liberty ashore. Assisting the Weapons Officer in the administration of this large department are the Fire Control Officer; First Lieutenant, Gunnery Assistant, Missile Officer and Missile Ordnance Officer. Lt. M. L. Adams Missile Systems Officer X fl- IT When the general public thinks of a sailor, the picture that comes to mind is most likely that of a deck force seaman or boatswains mate, widely known as the most senior rate in the Navy. They use skills that date backto when the Continen- tal Congress authorized our first naval vessel. Proud of their ship, their rate and their trade, the men of the deck force embody the finest elements of naval tradition adopting the old techniques to the requirements of a modern man - of war. Gunner ' s mates are responsible for the safe storage and handling of ammunition from receipt to delivery. Knowledg- able of all types of explosives and ordnance, this highly com- petent team ensures that our weapons are ready at all times. They hold one of the Navy ' s oldest and proudest ratings. Their function is to man and maintain the ships guns and be ready to take an enemy under fire. The Sonarmen are responsible for ASW (finding and directing attacks on submarines) they also maintain all underwater sound gear. The Torpedomen maintain and launch homing torpedoes against submarines and surface ships. The Fire Controlmen have the important job of maintaining their highly complex missile guidance and gun laying radars and associated equipment. Without them we are unable to carry out our most important task, ANTI-AIR WAREFARE.
