Gunnery Department CDRC.E. NELSON Gunnery Officer From 8 1 50 to 12 5 51 LCDR W. D. CALHOUN Gunnery Officer From 12 5 51 to LT E.W. LAPINE First Lieutenant 1ST LT E. DZIALO Commending Officer (Marine Detachment) GUNNERY DEPARTMENT The effectiveness of a fighting ship of the navy ultimately is gauged by its ability to damage and destroy the enemy. Success in such a venture depends upon the various weapons employed and upon the skill of the officers and men v ho use them. Responsibility for the maintenance and efficient operation of the ship ' s ordnance equipment rests with the Gun- nery Officer. His principal assistants are the main Battery Officer, Air Defense Officer, and Fire Control Officer. The Gunnery Department is the largest department of this ship, and is broken down into several divisions. The main battery (8 ) is handled by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions: The secondary battery (5 ) by the 4th and 5th divisions, and the anti-aircraft battery is assigned to the 6th and 7th divisions (3 ) and marines (20mm). The upkeep and operation of the ship ' s delicate fire control equipment is the responsibility of the F Division. Since our ship does not have an air de- partment, the embarked helicopter and drone units are administered by the Gunnery Department. In addition to the foregoing, the varied and never-ending duties of deck seamonship are administered by the Gun- nery Officer, assisted by the First Lieutenant. Ship ' s boats, rigging, care and maintenance of al I deck equipment, painting, transportation, garbage disposal, crew ' s berthing, and supervision of seamanship evolutions such as fueling , and provisioning are the direct responsibility of the first lieutenant. Like any other department, the extent of gunnery is limited by the type ship of which it is a part. We of the Al- bany are fortunate in having a Gunnery Department of sufficient scope to acquaint us with most of the methods of modern Gunnery and Seamanship. Just how well this department functions is attested to by the fact that the Albany ranked first among cruisers of the Atlantic Fleet in Gunnery for the fiscal year 1951 . H. W. Cook, YNTI
