A orolonged note on the bugle. The LITTLE ROCK IS in port, and first division has just carried out one of its primarv functions. Refueling and replenishment at sea are further responsibilities However important functions remain. One hears the constant sound of the chipping hammer, the rythmic sounds of holy ston- ing, sees the brush and roller applying more paint, the bright work being polished, and the impressive fancy work which adds the neatness which the forecastle presents.

These men, through continuous maintenance of machinery and constant preparedness and practice, extract the last measure of efficiency and accuracy of first division

2nd DIVISION Second Division is one of the three deck divisions. It is responsible for most of the main deck area, super- structure, and lower decks area in the mid-section of the ship. The division is also charged with manning the mid- ships fueling station and rigging and handling almost all personnel highline transfers. When the anchor plunges into the water, the boats must also be put in the water. Second division is further assigned the responsibility of lower and load- ing all boats from the utility boats to the barge. During a man overboard drill, when the drone re- covery detail is called away, or whatever the need for a motor whale boat might be, second division is also on the job. The second division gunner ' s mates maintain the 5 38 dual-purpose mount. Everything l oaded forward goes aft . . . everything loaded aft goes for- ward. Two! Seven come eleven.
