W-6 Weapons Department must ensure that their work is done right the first time. A mistake discovered while the submarine is on patrol could be critical. The Weapons Quality Assurance Division makes sure those mistakes do not happen. W - 6 monitors and reports the quality of all the work performed by the department. They ensure that all standards and safety procedures are met every step of the way. In addition, W - 6 maintains the Weapons Technical Publications Library, which has all information in the weapons area. W - 6 helps the subs keep in contact with the department through Weapon's Ship's Superintendents. These men co-ordinate the weapons work for the submarines undergoing refit. Their efforts help keep the submarines ready for patrol at all times. Front: TMSN Bradley Bollinger, TMSN Daniel Sullivan TMSN Raymond Rivera GMT2 Weyman Kemp.

IVIARDET CANOPUS is not manned totally by sailors. We have a group of highly skilled fighting men, the Marine Detachment. They serve as the security force onboard and are a very professional one at that. This security force is also known as the Deadly Force and if there are doubts about this name, just try walking around during a security violation. Being on a security force involves long tediouswatches during all hours of the day and night. There are several places you can find Marines standing watch, at the missile break during handling operations, the door leading to the weapons work spaces and in the guard shack keeping a close watch on thealarms connected to the ship's security areas. Each is a very important job for the security of our ship. The Marine' Detachment does their job and they do it right. If you still doubt this, just take a stroll down the passageway during a security violation.
