G-1 Secretary of the Navy James Webb introduces himself to CMC Kes- lenbaum and FC2 Wolf Turret 1 is Missouri ' s show turret. More admirals, generals and distinguished civil- ian guests have entered her hatch than any other battleship ever constructed. During the deployment to the North Arabian Sea, this steady stream of visitors came to a halt. The mission required con- stant operation at sea and constant Gener- al Quarters. The men of Turret 1 forgot about visitors and concentrated on the de- manding mission before them. The guns were not fired in anger, but had necessity dictated firepower, the men of Turret 1 would have responded quickly and effec- tively. ' - Wk H W ttt ! ? E Ht i .i J H mB HR 1
