HYDRO X 1 - ls there some rate that you're curious about? Ll, PH, DM, SV, Civillians, we have them all. The survey - drafting department of the division is capable of compiling the survey data and making usable navigational charts, Then the photography - lithography section make the neg- atives and can reproduce the charts in quantity if need be. Such things as hand printed signs, photo - stats, Chap1ain's bulletins, ship's letter head -stationery are some of the other items that the group is responsible for. During the surveying season, the Hydrographic Department is responsible for obtaining the necessary information in order to make the cruise a successful venture from the scientific stand- point. lf Hydro fails in this endeavor, then the department is more or less at a continual Gener- al Quarters ! The sweat, and tempers that were lost from time to time had their effect but des- pite these the job was accomplished and with remarkable fine results, as attested to by letters from Captain Munson, Hydrographer of the Navy and CNO's Admiral Arleigh A.

PERS 0 N Sf! The far-reaching arm of the Executive Officer performs under the auspice of the strative Department. A never-ending flow of paperwork radiates from the cubbyhole and the bewildering volumes of Navy Directives come to life and sensibility in the hands of YNs and PNs who traditionally inhabit the ship's office. Burly Boatswain's Mates ptowling decks behind MAA badges do so as members of this department. The Chaplain, who liveng montony of shipboard life with spiritual enlightenment, is another valuable asset to Maury and the Admin Department. It is also the Chaplain who, as librarian, keeps a goodly supply of read. ing materials available to officers and men, and sees to it that the Crew's Lounge is as ogm. fortable as can be.

l ' 1 Church bulletin in productio Like the other departments Hydro seemed t A - 0' o continually fmd it problems that weren't in the book and likewise found their solu. tions outside the official line. It is interesting to note that the department developed a new and extremely accurate method of cal. librating and positioning the 91. ectrical equipment that was used during this survey. As much as we all enjoyed the Med, a repeat performance will not be necessary. Hydro got what it was looking for, and much to the relief of the entire cre W: we can go on to look at new af. eas of the world.
