R-3 DIVISION The sparking outfit of the cruise was the R-3 division The many motor repairs, electrical trouble-shooting and other technical problems in electricity, were handled by Mr. Henriksen ' s divi- sion. These followers of Edison had very many job orders to complete on the cruise Communications and Radar equipment for both the Cascade and COMSERVFORSIXTHFLT were kept in top notch operating condition as a part of the many daily tasks. These are the men who inaugurated the unique service of providing ship-to- shore phone communications for the crew, enabling them to call home on our return trip while 2,000 miles out. CW03 H. P.

The torpedomen under the supervision of Chief Under- water Technician P. W. Dennis, answered all requests for torpedoes and torpedo overhauls. The divers kept the situa- tion well in hand relative to underwater work. The remainder of the versatile R-4 Division rendered other varied services which the Sixth Fleet destroyers needed. Calculators, typewriters, and watches were repaired and over- hauled by the Instrumentmen. The opticalmen, with many binoculars and navigational instruments to restore to satis- factory operating condition, were seldom idle. Ordnance men and Fire Control Technicians frequently teamed up to restore the various destroyer gun batteries to top notch operating condition. The Print Shop gang, keeping the busy presses rolling, accomplished all printing as requested by the destroyers tended, and fulfilled the printing requirements of the Service Force Sixth Fleet command as well. This vital division was a key factor in the fine services rendered by the CASCADE and was under the direction of Chief Ordnance Control Technician H. D. Christensen, R-4 Division Officer.
