4TH DIVISION Fourth Division, commonly known as Gunnery, was responsible for the ships main batteries, the machine guns on the assault landing craft and the small arms used by sentries and the ships landing parties. Leading Petty Officer, Fire Control Techni- cian Henderson, with his men as- signed, maintained and operated the four twin 455 m.m. mounts and their associated fire control directors. We also trained the boat crews to use and care for the machine guns they used during the combat assault op- erations in which we participated. Additionally, we trained almost the whole crew to use the numerous other small arms we had on board to guard us from enemy swimmers which were a constant threat. The security of the ship and the Boat Group rested on Fourth Division! OK you guys, I told you to clean those bores. I Back row: Henderson I-'T2, LTJG Best. Front row: Johnson, J,D Maynard, K,i-L,, Pelky, li,-X., Scheid, J,L, The normal duties of our Division were divided so that each man was assigned an area of respon- sibility. Gunners Mate Seaman Pelky and Boat- swain Mate Third Class Schied cared for the forward and after mounts, the ammo hoists and the magazines. Fire Control Technician Third Class Johnson was responsible for the Fire Con- trol equipment and was also division trouble shooter who handled any and all unusual or major problems relating to ordinance. Fire COntI'O1 Technician Second Class Henderson was respon- sible to the Gunnery Officer, LTjg Best, for the smooth and effective running of Fourth Division. We never did forget GLu1ner's Mate First Class Forgety, who was responsible for the excellent state of weapons readiness and who was our leading Petty Officer from the beginning of the cruise until he was transferred in June.
