FOX DIVISION This IS the age of the guided missile, with many mysterious and complex weapons being developed for every conceivable purpose. However, if the missile cannot be guided to the proximit y of the target, it has lost Its effectiveness. Fox division is entrusted with this tremendous task ot operating and maintaining the maze of electronic equipment that makes up the ship ' s missile fire con- trol system. Theirs is the responsibility of acquiring and tracking a hostile target, computing a solution to intercept, and when this is accomplished, control and guidance of this powerful missile. Fox division is also assigned the operation and main- tenance of the gun fire control systems of the 5 inch nrrX onnJ ' °? ' ' l ' ' batteries. Protecting the Lll ILE ROCK at short range is their primary duty. Many hours are spent both in the missile and gun tire control testing, computing, and evaluating the equipment in order to maintain their systems at the peak of efficiency.

MARINE DETACHMENT W A From the Halls of Montezuma . . . to the fleet land- ing at Navplion, Greece ... to the decks of the USS LITTLE ROCK you ' ll find the U. S. Marmes. The Marine Detachment detailed for duty on board the LITTLE ROCK forms a separate division within the organization thereof. Their missions are to provide a unit organized, trained, and equipped for operations ashore, as part of the ship ' s landing force; provide gun crews; and provide internal security of the ship. Of equal importance, however, are their duties as showmen of the ship. They have performed as Honor Guard for visiting dignitaries, and displayed the rn h- tary precision and polish the Drill Team and Color Guard in many ceremonies which where held through- out the cruise.
