SECO IIIIIVISIU S' gv, The Second Division has the task of keeping up the Gunnery Depart- ment spaces in the after part of the ship. Many endless hours are put into this task. The deck force also see's to it that the motor whaleboat is kept ready for instant use, regardless of the weather and sea condi- tions. The gun gang of the Second Division is responsible for the after main and AA batteries, and their handling rooms and magazines. Everyday, magazines must be examined for excessive temperatures and other dan- gerous conditionsg while the torpedo gang handles the maintenance of the torpedo tubes and the anti-submarine weapons. The effectiveness of any department on a ship is, the final analysis, largely dependent on the personnel of that department and their ability to get along with their shipmates. The cooperation between the divisions and the gangs within the divisions, has been very commendable, and has added materially to the operational effectiveness of this cruise.

ENGINHHI GIIIVISIII x, if 4 Q 4, , KZ' EEN--- .--,n-,s?lg- e no W The Engineering Division is the largest division on the ship, and it is no wonder, for they have one of the biggest jobs to do. It is the re- sponsibility of the men of this division to get the ship going and keep it going. The Machinist Mate' s who must stand watch at the main engine con- trol, have the tremendous responsibility of controling the speed of the ship. The seemingly endless maze of machinery in the engineroomfs must be kept under personal observation at all times and any breakdown repaired immediatley. Power is the Heart of the ship - - - and our power is STEAM, Power is needed to drive the engines, and for light, ventilation, heating, cook- ing, and refrigeration. The manufacture of steam is the responsibility of the Boilermen, and a vital responsibility it is, for in the fireroom, all functions of the ship begin. The men of the Engineering Division are a proud group of men, and they have the right, for they can boast a long and enviable record of con- tinuous steaming without material breakdown. ' . 0 V 15
