DI s IN ANY OTHER FIELD or Acrivxrv, the 'wheels' keep things going in the Navy alioat as well. But in this case the term 'wheel' refers to the quartermaster. Inasmuch as his duties pertain primarily to navigation of the ship underway, he is often answering questions such as 'How far do we have to goP' and WVhen do we pull into port? VVith the assistance of Chief Cooper and Chief Hurlbutt, the Navigator can readily determine the answers from visual bearings on fixed objects ashore when the ship is in sight of land. But when the ship is out at sea celestial navigation is required, a process of locating the ship's position by means of the sun, moon, and stars. Half an hour before sunrise and half an hour after sunset, and occasionally throughout the day, these three can be found out on the bridge with their sextants 'shooting' these objects. Our other quartermasters have various duties, which include keeping the shipis clocks set to the correct time, correcting the many navigational charts and publications so as to show the latest information concerning buoys and lights, and main- taining a record of the ship's activities in the quartermaster's I0 notebook. Wlieli underway in inland water channels or on the high seas while maneuvering alongside other vessels, where a steady hand at the helm is needed to avert collision or grounding, our more experienced wheels, Riley, Cook, Good- man, or Spring can be found there taking orders from the conning officer, and keeping the ship 'steady as she goes.' Together with the quartermasters, the N Division lays claim to the yeomen of the Operations Department, among whose duties are filing of pertinent correspondence, keeping a record of the ship's training program, and typing an accurate smooth copy of the ship's log based on the quartermaster's notebook. Last to be mentioned but deserving credit nonetheless are the ship's photographers, who assisted in compiling this book and who provide the ship's newspaper with its pictures, the aerographer, who makes a daily weather forecast, and our bu- glers, whose sweetest tune is 'liberty call.' WVith all due respect one might add that the N Division slogan, adapted now to the changing times, has been faithfully followed and, as long as the Chaplain and the quartermasters are in business, shall be in the future: Don't let the Worcester get stuck in the mud! 5 ir First Row: Gary C.
