Chapman ln ancient sailing days, the gun- ner's mates would invite their wives onboard for days at a time, and the couples would sleep be- tween the cannons on the gun deck. A boy born from such a union was called a son-of-a- gun. Though visiting policies have changed since those days, the dedication of the Gunner's Mate has not. Our own Gunner's Mates lGunsJ and Torpedoman's Mates in CO Division handle our two Five lnch Guns, and two sets of torpedo tubes. Five Inch means the bullets are five inches in diameter, and the gun itself is powerful enough to send those heavy projectiles over Mount Everest in a single bound. Be- sides big guns and torpedoes, the men of CO also take care of the myriad of small weapons which are required on board a warship. An ancient trade, practiced on the most modern equipment, and practiced with pride, and excel- lence - that's CO Division! 26 ENS M. Cole GMG2 K. Heerdf GMG2 A. Brill GMG2 J. Manned 1' M02 c.

Todd ET3 M- Parker Gaze at the superstruc- ture of any modern war- ship and you'll find it covered with a forest of antennas, radars, wires, bulbs, bumps, and other metal objects which defy description. As odd as they look, each has a vital purpose, for they help to serve as the eyes and ears of the Missis- sippi. And taking care of most of that forest is the tremendous job of the Electronics Technicians of CE Division. Beyond radars, though, they care for hundreds of pieces of equipment in- side the ship, for if it has electronics fand what doesn't nowadays?J, it means CE Division. Dedicated and hard- working, small but pow- erful, CE is always there to keep our microchips chirping and our radar eyes watching. CE Division 1 . 4 I ETC W. Baranski LTJG C.
