M. , W-2 Modern warfare calls for ships and submarines to be able to hit their targets with accuracy from great distances. The Fire Control Repair Division of CANOPUS is responsible for maintaining the weapons guidance systems for the submarines of Squadron 16. W - 2 Division repairs, tests, adjusts and assists in casualty analysis of the FBIVI submarine's Poseidon missile and torpedo systems. W - 2 Division is composed of IVIK88 Fire Control system personnel, IVIK113 Fire Control system personnel and IVIOTS Shop personnel. The Fire Control Technicians of W - 2 use a wide array of technical publications and complex electronic equipment to keep the FBIVI fire control systems up to their rigid standards of performance. If the call ever arises, these weapons will be on the mark. Front: FTB1 SS Robert Hartman, FTCS Paul Knoblett, ENS Robert Patrick, FTGC Ira Lutz, MTC SS Martin Sessler. Back: FTB2 Juan Gonzalez, FTB2 Brian Helgeson, FTG2 Fred Jasmin, FTG1 SS Tom Kaluzny.

W-3 The men of the Nuclear Weapons Repair Division are unique in that they are the only rating in the FBIVI weapons group who do not serve aboard the submarines. They are highly trained Gunner's Mate Technicians who perform work on the business end of the Poseidon missiles. They ensure that all safety standards involved in handling the missile's re-entry system are strictly adhered to and are trained to take action in the event of an accident involving one of the missiles. They perform checkouts on the components of the re-entry system and warhead, making sure that everything is in proper working order.
