Together they man the ship's weapons systems and maintain almost all topside equipment and deck surfaces. The First Division Bos'ns maintain the tradition of the Navy, for their duties are such that they can never be replaced by computers or the encroachment of the electron and the atom. No one has devised a better means of refueling, replenishing, or combating the corrosive effects of salt water than the means used by the Deck Gang - sweat and seamanship.
