Sth The armament of Ticonderoga, aside from the aircraft and their weapons, is com- posed of four 5 38 caliber single, open gun mounts. The gunners mates of Fifth Division are responsible for this battery, and its related equipment and its maga- zines. In addition, Fifth Division controls the ships armory and consequently takes custody of and secures all small arms and small arms ammunition aboard Tico, including the various squadrons. During WESTPAC, three gun shoots were held for training purposes. ln addition, several small arms training shoots were held on the fantail. On May 31 while in the Sea of Japan, a Z1 gun salute was fired from the 40mm Saluting Battery, commemor- ating Memorial Day. While overseas many people purchased rifles for their own private use. Cn the return trip to the states the armory took custody of these rifles which added up to more than 150. X f at 'vw BOTTOM ROW L-R, SN EM. Bautista, GMG3 R.K. Pigg, GMGI TJ. sttttt, GMCS c.L.
