First Division They might call us deck apes but an ape certainly does less work and gets more liberty than The d kd ' ' ec epartment on the ASHTABULA. The deck department is responsible for preventing the spread of after fantail. Anyone who has seen the l:lylfi9 All will realize this is a great responsibility. The head of the department is LTJG Sanders who OverseeS rust and corrosion from the forward foc'sl to the operations from his vantage point in the Sandbox. He is aided in his duties by thr youeeng division officers who are rotated to rest camps every few months. The lst Division Officer, ENS Ennis, is reSP0'l' sible for the exterior of the forward part of the ship and also the longest sea details in the historY Ol theNa.C' f lvl. ' vy aring or r Pavalovics potato patch on the after well deck is one of the responsibilities of 2nd division as well as the after half of the ship and several of our pampered fuel rigs. These include Rig 6, whose movements inspired Sisson's Cha-Cha- Cha dance made famous by American Bandstand. Rig 7 is always trouble for Trumble and Rig 8 is Bonnet's bad boy. Chief l-lohman's l-lotcasemen are Y h I te peope who take care of our firepower. The clip shack is known throughout the fleet for its fine coffee m always fresh-they don't let it set very long.
