Under the leadership of the First Lieutenant, LTJG Christopher, the MAURY is one of the cleanest and best looking ships in SERVPAC. The department consists of 4 officers and 70 enlist The Deck Department is responsible for anchoring the ship bow and stern, mooring the ship to buoys and docks, manning all b oats, operating the cargo booms and a thousand and one other chores. Day and night the 'tdeck apes can be seen rigging booms, hoisting boats in and out, and mooring the ship. Approximately 90711 of the exterior of the ship in addition to many interior spaces are the responsibility of this department. The personnel of the department have a can do attitude and no job is to big or to small for them to accomplish. In the first six months of the cruise the department moored the ship to a dock 14 times, to a buoy once, and dropped the bow and stern anchors a total of 75 times. The personnel of the department take great pride in the appear- ance of MAURY and constantly try to improve her appearance. This is accomplished by the use of much elbowgrease and proper appli- cation of preservation and painting techniques. They know a clean ship is a happy ship and they have contributed greatly in making MAURY a clean happy ship. edmen. x i. ' llilllrnl gpgm, I 0 I Q 5 a , LTJG j.R.
