After the Helo transfer is completed, Second Division can expect to be called away at any time for fueling at sea and will always go a good job. These are just two of the responsibilities of this division, their main job being the operation and maintenance of the after section of the ship. Composed of deck personnel and gunners, the Second Division can he seen working on the after portion of the ship's armament or on the ship in general at almost any time except during the worst weather..

This is just part of the job Operations Division. While at sea, Operations Divi- sion's primary responsibility to stay 44 on top 'i of the situation at all times. To know what is going on in the formation, what screen is in effect, where our new station is after reorienting the screen and the best course to get there are all part of their job. In the modern navy much complicated electronic equipment is used to gain all this in- formation andg of course, skilled men must be available to service this equipment in case of failure. These men too are of GO Division. On the bridge, the quartermasters are valuable assistants to the officer of the deck but the big job of the quartermaster is to assist the Navigator in maintaining a plot of the ship's position. It can now be seen that 40 Division is a group of highly skilled men of different rates, working as a team to do a most important job. C145
