But we also maintain the two Welin Davits, and 02-Level and the 2 Ac- comadation Ladders. Third Division was lead throughout the cruise, by the Boat Group Com- mander LTjg R. Crain, and LTjg W. Willett our Division Officer and As- sistant Boat Group Commander. Our Leading Petty Officer for the last half of the cruise was Boatswain Mate Second Class J. S. Russell. However, we never forgot the lead- ership and salty humor of Boatswain Mate First Class T. Lane, who was leading Petty Officer until he left the ship to retirement in May.
