D DI AN YOUR high-line stations! Hoist in the motor-boat! Stand by to receive DD alongside to port! Man the aviation crane! Set the special sea details! Stand-by to recover the helicopter! General Quarters! Prepare to fuel from the AO All in a day s work for the Third Division, the outfit that runs the 'back porch with its myriad of activities, the outfit which probably has at least as many spur-of-the-moment chores to do as any other division on board. Many of the jobs are menial, to be sure, but we of the fighting Third believe in the saying that there is dignity in all workg and we are con- fident that the menial tasks contribute just as much to the general welfare as do the more glamorous, more highly- publicized jobs of the specialists. Of course, all of our jobs are not menial ones, and our six-inch turrets are the business end of the big punch our ship f 'Cl,ll'1llOI'l among our liricntls 'intl rtl'itions outside the Wop cester, we go back and briclly outline our many functions T ey include: lj Ol cr' tion and lll'lllll.C.l'l'll'lf'C of the after 'X- inch turrets' 7 preservation ol' thc weather tlcck aft' Q3 deck seamanship' le nrtintcnancit 'ind supervision ol' the hangar deck which has enough boats blocks tackles, boxes and just plain Gear to make it surpass cvcn Iiililicr Mcbcc s Closet g 5 the cleanliness and prcscrvition ol' various lower deck spaces, such as living compartments licads, showers, passagg- ways and a host of void spaces' and Q6 the operation and maintenance of two motor launches and one motor whaleboat Probably the Thirds distinction lies in the fact that we probably practice more true seamanship-more splicing, more knots, more deck and paint scrubbin0', more handling of deck equipment-than any other division on board. Certainly we will never pass on from boredom. If , U I cn . , f f . , L , . . , . . h I 4 J x al 1 ' 1 ' CD 1 ' ' ' J D 9 -1 ' y to starboard!

Our seamanship or marlinespike work is as varied as the Bluejacket's Manual itself. We feel confident that it is hardly necessary to justify the existence of a Third Division in the eyes of our shipmatesg but feeling that our Cruise Book is certain to receive wide Probably our greatest cross to bear is our eternal struggle with the stacksg and we admit to tiendishly awaiting the day when the Officer-of-the-Deck forgets himself and blows tubes on the gentle airs of a following wind.
