Once the boats were aboard, R Division provided much of the man power and nearly all the valuable technical skills of welding and metal forming for the boat repair force. In addition to boat haven operations R Division was called upon to provide fire parties for helicopter operations and underway refueling details. They also Completed routine repairs on the ballast SYStem, the piping and plumbing systems, and the hull and its associated fittings. As the tour of duty in WESTPAC neared the end, many divisions ran short of qualified Watch standers. R Division, being more for- tunate in retaining most of its personnel, volunteered to assist ,B and M Divisions by Providing personnel to help fill the watch blll. This exemplifies R Division's attitude of hard work wherever needed that helped U13-ke this cruise successful. R DIVISIQN
