Deck Department Consisting of three distinct divisions, Deck Department has proven itself to be a most versatile department. On the Main Deck, there are First and Second Divisions ready to handle any evolution including Sea and Anchor Detail, Flight Quarters, Boat Operations, LCU Stern Gate Mar- riages, Underway Replenishments and Embarka- tionfDebarkation of Marine Detachment. The Boatswains mates from First and Second Divisions are ready to turn to and meet their challenges head on. In addition to their participation in the evolutions that make the USS NEWPORT unique, First and Second were also responsible for keeping the ship and the ship's boats looking good. Members from First or Second Divisions could always be found working to ensure that NEWPORT kept her best foot forward. As we head topside we find the Gunnersmates of Third Division. These professional members of the Com- bat Systems Team are always ready to bring the fight to the aggressor with their 3 X 50 rapid fire gun mounts. Main- tained in the highest degree of material readiness, these weapons proved time and again that NEWPORT was ready to fight and win. From quickdraw exercises to famfires of the fantail, the Gunners mates were ready to show why sure shot NEWPORT was the king of the hill. Three divisions, one team. Deck Department: diversity, unity, flexibility through professionalism. From the bow ramp to the stern gate, from the anchor to the gun mounts, Deck does it all. On station every time. That is why so goes the Deck Department . . . So goes the ship . . . LT F. J. SCHWARZ FIRST LIEUTENANT LT B. J. WASHINGTON QPJFIRST LIEUTENANT I-T J. R. ALBERGO LTJG R. D.
