vf Quartermasters From the moment we pulled away from the pier, the Quartermasters were in ac- tion plotting every mile of our journey to the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and home again. This skillful Naviga- tion Team maintained a con- stant vigilance to insure our safe passage to and from the North Atlantic and MED. Some of the tasks these men do are steering the ship, maintaining charts, naviga- tional aids, and the ship's deck log.
