It can ' t be done is quite an obscure statement to the boys of Mr. Cherchi ' s division. Underway, in port, opera- ting, or just anchored out, the welding torches ot this division flash out their message of repair. During the cruise, and even on the way over, R-l took a healthy whack at the over- whelming job requests and successfully leveled them down to completion. Replacing a destroyer bow was a hot job, plus other hull repairs. Metalsmiths, Pipefitters, Welders, Car- penters, Patternmakers, Damage Controlmen, and Repair Bo ' sns Mates, all teamed up to bulwark the heavy work load of welding new hatches, replacing valves and pipes, making canvas covers, repairing damaged wood items, revising metal fixtures and compartments and many other important jobs of vital necessity to destroyer operations. As an added after- thought this division found time to cop the divisional Softball title and furnish the boxing team with four good mitt slingers. R-l was sorely tried in its work responsibilities, but with diligence and hard work managed to dispel its obligations in the traditional Navy spirit. CW03 R. A CHERCHI Hull Repoir Off.

In this division you can get a picture portrait, a new key, a bronze casting, an engine repaired, a boiler overhauled or a machined fitting. Yes, everything from photos to heavy machine work lie within the capabilities of Mr Grundy ' s boys. The Machine Shop can be safely termed the most important center of this division with its lathe section, light machine shop, valve and pump team, and milling gang. The foundry handled its share of bearing work in molding and pouring. The Palermo heat had the molders sweating it out on pouring days . . that ' s for sure. The boiler and engine repair shops came up with their share of the dirty work and between the two, plenty of blisters and grime were in order with their job. The important Machine Shop personnel turned out their precision work in all its various forms, and the boys in the Photo Lab snapped the memorable images of importance for the official record. Mr. O. J. Moore was the original division officer until our second visit to Cannes, when Mr. Grundy came aboard as his relief. With the administrative assistance of Chief Gourseau, Mr. Grundy kept the important func- tions of this backbone division in high gear. The job orders were completed in the same efficient manner throughout the remainder of the trip. CVV02 J. W. GRUNDY Mach. Repair Off.
