PI- Please, sir, may I have some more. Arduous duty for LT McNeal. We are often asked, What ' s so great about the navy? Why sign up for a job where you have to go so far away, and go so often? And we often remain silent, for someone who has not gone down to the sea in ships would be hard- pressed to understand the attraction of the sea: the lure of its mysteries, the allure of the ports that line its shores, and the tremendous camaraderie of a crew that has experienced its dangers together. The pages that follow may help our friends understand a little better. Engineers find paradise in Thailand.

It is tracked and identified by the SONAR tech- nicians (STG), who accomplish their job with an array of today ' s most sensitive equip- ment, including display screens, acoustic re- corders and fire control systems. It is then the job of the Torpedoman ' s Mate (TM) or the Gunner ' s Mate Missiles (GMM) to fire on the hostile submarines. A TM can shoot a conventional over-the-side torpedo or a GMM may launch an ASROC, a rocket-as- sisted torpedo, at a more distant target. So, as you can see, it is the teamwork of many individuals in the CA division aboard MERRILL which makes our anti-subma- rine warfare capability one of the finest in the Pacific Fleet. iQ Ik WMmfu CE DIVISION CE division consists of electronic technicians (ET ' s), data systems techni- cians (DS ' s) and interior communications electricians (IC ' s). The ET ' s are respon- sible for maintenance of the ship ' s radars and radio communication equipment. The DS ' s are responsible for maintenance of the ship ' s Navy Tactical Data Systems (NTDS) equipment.

These are the shield that provide the primary air defense for MERRILL. With limited maintenance time available due to the operational nature of MERRILL ' S mission, the dedicated FC ' s of CM Division achieved a nearly perfect maintenance percentage and system up time. FC2 Hisert leads the burial-at-sea honor guard. TDT watch for the FC2 U A - division FC2 McPherson FC3 Minter Strike Warfare Division consists of nine Tomahawk and Harpoon Fire Controlmen and maintains and operates two of the Navy ' s most potent and capable weapons systems. Their duties include missile onload and offload, maintenance of the Over-the-Horizon Targeting data base, engagement planning, and missile launch. Both Harpoon and Tomahawk are cruise missile systems, Harpoon being a medium-range anti-surface missile and Tomahawk being a long range anti-surface and land attack missile. LTJG Re- vak, the Strike Warfare Officer, is ably assisted by FCl Dahle, the Division LPO. Division Petty Officers include FCl Ketner, FC2 Tenhunen, FC2 Vanvleet, FC2 Lamons, FC2 Palmieri, FC3 Beauchemin, FC3 Jones, and FC3 Hughes.

It is a very versatile division that ' s responsible for equipment ranging from steering units to freshwater pumps. A Division ' s spaces consist of two main engineer- ing spaces, Aux 1 and Aux 2, and six secondary spaces, which include spaces such as forward pump room and reef- er machinery room. In short, A-gangers are knowledge- able and very hard-working individuals whose main motto is to Keep the equipment online. L ' ti Go fly a kite. division : Rigging shore power. w Up and over. Electrical Division is comprised of the hardest-working enlisted personnel of any rate. Some of the division ' s respon- sibilities include maintenance of ship ' s motors and control- lers, replacement of motor bearings, maintenance of the de- gaussing system, and repairing light and distribution panels. When underway, the electricians stand EPCC, electrical equipment monitor and sounding and security watches. Elec- trical Division may be small but we pack a mean punch! The lifer sign. ENS Riles EMC Allen EM2 Cox f EM3 Leach EMFN Hunter EMFN Phillips f MP DIVISION MP DIVISION One of the largest divisions on MERRILL, MP Division consists of four workcenters and approximately 40 hard working m en. It is our respon- sibility to ensure that the ship makes way so that MERRILL can meet her operational commitments. MP Divi- sion is where the rubber meets the road. MP Division consists of personnel in the gas turbine systems technician electrical and mechanical (GSE and GSM, respectively) rates. The GSEs maintain and operate the gas turbine generators that produce MERRILL ' S supply of electricity. They also main- tain the electronics that allow remote operation of main engines, generators, and associated equipment from cen- tral control station as well as local op- eration from the enginerooms. The GSM ' s maintain and operate the main propulsion gas turbine engines and as- sociated systems such as lube oil, fuel oil, and compressed air systems, among others, in MERRILL ' S two en- ginerooms. Both groups have demand- ing jobs that are consistently perform- ed safely. The GSEs and GSMs are some of the finest sailors on the ship. We have an engineering plant that is second to none thanks to the outstanding effort that these men give on a daily basis. TUlDGiTHtLL A couple of snipes relaxing in Bahrain. ?

S S The R Team Repair Division consists of three workcenters - ER01, ER04 and ER09. EROl is responsible for emer- gent repair work. HT ' s and MR ' s per- form work such as welding, pipe fitting and sheet metal work. Also, MR ' s have the ability to remanufacture some of the parts of the ship ' s equipment. The workcenter ER04 is in charge of main- taining MERRILL ' S fire fighting systems, such as the AFFF and fire hose stations. ER09 is in charge of damage control PMS for the entire ship. Because their equipment is throughout the ship, these three are among the busiest and hardest-work- ing workcenters on the MERRILL. Remember, if we don ' t do our jobs, you may float home.

At the NAVAD is a diversified department comprised of four work cen- ters and is home to Quartermaster (QM), Signalmen (SM), Postal Clerks (PC), Career Counselors (NO, Personnelmen (PN), Yeomen (YN) and Hospital Corpsmen (HM). We plot the ship ' s course, com- municate visually with friend and foe, ensure the mail gets in (and out), encourage retention, document everything that happens on board and treat the headaches the workload promotes. The QM ' s of NN01 are responsible for navi- gation and have satellite, magnetic compass, gyro compass and celestial means at their disposal. Whether a familiar port or parts unknown, they ' ll get us in and out safely. The SM ' s of NS01 employ flashing light, semaphore, infrared, sig- nal flags and even flares to ensure that other ships know our intentions and we know theirs. We have the best signalmen in SURFPAC and the sharpest lookouts, too. C i The PN ' s and YN ' s of the Administrative I Warfare Center (ship ' s office) keep track of the |_0? | mountains of paperwork generated daily. No job is finished until the paperwork ' s complete. Our PO maintains morale as well as our link to the outside world with the mail. Our NC keeps our best people in the Navy and helps the younger sailors take advantage of the many opportunities the Navy offers them. The Corpsmen of Mighty Merrill Medical are responsible for preventive medicine, health education, routine sick call, minor surgery, medi- cal training and lending a sympathetic ear. Put it all together and your get NAVAD. Service with a smile is our motto, and since we ' re generally taken for granted we must be do- ing our jobs right.
