Com- mander Porter received orders making him the Command- ing Othcer of the Naval Communications Station at Charleston. North Carolina.

Our BM's make up the lirst and second divisions. the lirst division being deploy- ed over thc forward part of the ship. the second division being assigned the rear half. The Deck Apes. as they are fondly called. are the Whetstone's real sailors. They are involved with the most traditional Navy chores of keeping the ship clean, running the boats. handling lines and controlling docking and anchoring. A Everyone knows what the Boatswain's Mate of the watch does: he gets us up. the morning. sends us to chow. puts us to work. calls us a liberty boat. and putsius to bed. The routine of Navy life is set to the shrill blasts of the Boatswain's pipe. At GQ the deck force mans our guns. and at condition 1 Able, when we per- form the functions for which our ship was designed. they are in charge of loading and offioading boats. troops and vehicles of war. ' Known as one of the cleanest ships in the fieet. the Whetstone owes its reputa- tion to the constant efforts of the deck force and their able leaders. Two of these leaders. H.T. Baker and H. E. Rowe. are the last remaining Hplank ownersi' on the crew. S 2 5 FIRST DIVISIO Q1 ns .- 0' . U' e'V V ,g ,, it l . f I ' - V .1 J R but .

Underway the boiler tenders work in the hottest spots on the ship. the lirerooms. They stand three section watches. with three men in each hreroom. under the supervision of the Ofiicer of the Watch. A heavy responsibility rests on the petty ofhcer in charge of each section, for he handles the actual steaming ofthe boilers, selecting the right burners and setting' the air pressure and feedwater levelg he must be alert and well-trained to handle any potenti- ally dangerous casualties to his boiler. Other personnel control the steam and fuel oil pressures take readin s 31 . ' g and keep the coffee fresh.

They must stand underway watches on the huge ships serxice generators to make sure we don't lose the load of electrical power. lf the generators do fail, electricians must make sure the emergency generator ii tired off properly to keep the most vital circuits running.

Lee MM3 ' M DIVISION M is for machinery. main propulsion. and muscles. The M Division operates the muscles of the ship: the steam turbines and associated equipment. Besides keeping the ship moving. M Division men operate and maintain the distilling plants. the ship's generators. and the main ballast pumps. The M division men stand watches in the engine rooms. spaces not quite as hot as the firerooms. the temperatures often being as low as IZOO. Under the eagle eye of the otlicer of the watch. the M Division stands a three- section watch underway. consisting of four men in each engine room. The throttleman maintains the exact speed of the ship as ordered by the Officer of the Deck on the bridge. But his responsibility goes far beyond this. He must keep a constant eye on a mass of gauges which give an overall picture of the functioning of the entire engineering plant. Down in the bowels of the engine room the lower level man keeps a watch on the main lubricating oil pumps. supplying oil under pressure to all main turbine and main reduction gear bearings. The messenger takes pressure and temperature readings. sounds the feed-water tanks and keeps the coffee a-making. Our never-failing supply of fresh water is the result of M Division work. main- taining and operating the distilling plants. . I As Jan Conover maintains, the ballast pumps are part ofthe shtp's mam battery. He and other MM's keep these huge pumps in running order. 2 Weigl lights oll' Li ballast pump 1 Mullm making u l1lUl1'lCl1l.h rut on xx :lah an in xlmc Sl2il'l'5U1Il'd pumproom Vaughn.

UPERATIO Communications. correspondence. combat inl'ormation. electronics repair. miscel- laneous. paper xsork. and. abose all. MAIL. are the responsibilities of Operations Disision personnel. The Radiomen run the radio shack. standing watches day in and day out. in port and at sea. They reeeixe and route most ol' the important communications trallie insolsing the ship. such as orders lo get under tsay. typhoon warnings and shore duty orders. , The Radarmen are dormant most oi' the time the ship is in port. but their role is a vital one when the ship is underway tif' you doubt it. just ask theml. They use radar to help in the sale naxigation ol' the ship. and during operations they keep the bridge informed ol' the progress of the exercise. Train, train. train is their motto. The Signalmen handle all sisual communications between our ship and others. and most ol' them are quite proficient in flashing light. semaphore and flag hoists. The Yeomcn and Personnelmen try to bring order out of chaos as far as the ship's paperisork is concerned. Amid endless queries and requests from the crew. they take care ol' correspondence. sersiee records and legal records. lt is unwise to run al'oul ol' these boss. for they are custodians ol' the liberty card box. J.J. Papa is our mailmzin and keeps busy cancelling outgoing mail and picking up incoming letters. Besides maintaining all the postoffice records and reports. Jack has the collateral duty of decoding the many important encrypted messages which come in lo the ship. a job which can roust him Out of bed at any time of day or night. Along with the consenience ot' modern radar and radio equipment goes the headache ol' keeping it running. This job is the responsibility of our two ET's. .l.B. Dunn and J.L. Fox. When they get time. they can usually hx our own radios. too. Our two Quartermasters. Chiet' Parris and Nick Jennings. like to think ol' themsleves as being it separate division. but their work is closely associated with other operations activities. lfsing loran. the sun. the stars and sometimes radar. these two men furnish at continual anssser to the question Where are wc? Mr. Case. the navigator, is their boss. Presiding oser the Operations Division are Mr. Conrad. the Department Head, and Mr. Stoeppelsserth. the Division Otiicer.
