NAVIGATION Navigation is the other division of the Operations Department and their responsibility is signalling by any of many methods — flash- ing light, (visible day and night) and sema- phore, or flag waving visible for shorter distances. Their work gets into high gear when op erating with a large convoy or task force, and lights seem to be blinking from all 360 degrees around the ship. Their other job is navigation, and — their knowledge of stars, contour of the ocean floor, and weather is all important to putting the ship in at the right port after being tossed about across thousands of miles of open seas.

R E P A I R D E P A R T M E N T CDR H. FRYE Repoir Off. Shortly after our return to the States it was disclosed that the CASCADE led all other tenders in the evaluation of services rendered des- troyers. With an able, hard working crew to back it up, the Repair Depart- ment, under the direction of Commander Frye, was probably most responsible for this accomplishment. Commander Frye ' s loyal team of warrant officers and skilled articifers was a one-two punch of the snowballing work load of the Sixth Fleet. The plain fact that the cans themselves made the evaluation of the quality and spirit of the work put out, lends credence to the real story in the ability of this department. Many extra hours and unselfish added exertion were sincerely extended during our overseas stay to gain this unsolicited evaluation honor from our greyhound patients. It was our well-liked Commander Frye, and his assistant Mr. Bullock, who maneuvered the intricate handling of the work load for this important facet of tender obligations. Commander Hank Frye was also Sixth Fleet Repair Officer, handling both our own repair functions as well as fleet problems. In his affable and sure fire way Commander Frye continued his reputation through- out the Sixth Fleet as a man that gets the job done . And the record proves it to be true. Upon completion of the cruise a ceremony and inspection was held for our beloved department head in conjunction with his departure for Boston and eventual retirement. Commander Frye reluctantly departed together with his record of 30 years of devoted service, a Navy Cross, rank of Commander and the respect of officers and enlisted men alike, to a new field in civilian life, where we feel sure he will find new friends.
