5,,l,gl'fb n . N if ns. . , P' I TRODUCI G THIRD DIVI IO The men of 'Ihird Division have the responsibility of main- taining and operating MAURY's two LCVP's, an LCPL, the Captains Gig and Sound Boats 6 and 7. When not raising and lowering boats to transport beach and liberty parties or man- ning the crash boat during flight quarters, the division busies itself with keeping the weather decks, bulkheads and doors on the 01, 02, and 03 levels well preserved and spotless. Though landing craft were not primarily utilized for beach- camp replenishment, the provisioning midway through the sure vey season of Station Red on l-lermana Menor Island by using LCVP No.2 gave Third Division an excellent opportunity to demonstrate its boat operation ability. With Anderson, BM2, at the helm, the landing craft navigated through 3 miles of uncharted coral reefs surrounding the island and landed with high surf conditions on the beach. Upon completion of replen- ishment, the LCVP returned safely to the MAURY. 'lhe men of Third Division are proud of their spaces and themselves. All hands in the division have demonstrated time and time again their willingness and ability to handle any job under any set of conditions.

Walker E Division Officer E GI EERI G DEP RTME The Fngineering Department, under the leadership of the Chief En- gineer, LT CL PEDFRSON, has provided MAURY with over 32,000 miles of sucessful steaming during this lA'FfS'l'PAC cruise. The ability of Nl , B , R 5 HF Divisions to work together as a team, to sup- ply water, steam, electricity, refrigeration and repairmen for MAURY has been demonstrated throughout the cruise. This ability, along with the Can Do spirit and a willingness to work under adverse conditions, has enabled the department to give MAURY the capability of meeting allof its operational commitments throughout the survey season. With this in mind the I-'ngineering Department can well be proud of the part they have played in mal-:ing this deployment a success. 1 . rr' V fs, sw I-Qnsign fi.
