R-4 Division CWO RUEBER Fire Control Officer The versatile R-4 Division rendered various services which the SIXTH FLEET destroyers needed. Calculators, typewriters, and watches were repaired and overhauled by the Instrumentmen. The Opticalmen, with many binoculars and navigational instruments to restore to satisfactory operating condition, were seldom idle. Ordnancemen and Fire-Control Technicians frequently teamed up to restore the various destroyers gun batteries to top notch operating condition. This vital division was a key factor in the fine services rendered by the CASCADE and was under the di- rection of Mr. Rueber, R-4 Division Officer.

R-3 Division CWO RIPPL E Electronics Officer This Division ,composed of the Electrical, IC, Electronic, Gyro, Crypto and Teletype Repair Shops departed CONUS under the leader- 'Ship of CWO Maynard and his 'Ole Sea Daddy', WO Julius. Having most of the Brains as well as some of the Brawn, we were able to maintain harmony amongst a group having many dissimilar in- intersts. But with watchful eyes of the CPO'S, the distractions of 'experiments', 'Cars for 'sale',and that old lntemational, World fam- ous, but oft regretted 'game of love', we were able to manage it. Mr. Maynard left the 'ship on 20 December 1960 for retirement after completing 20 years service. His relief CWO Ripple reported and f'took the con' on 5 January 1961. Utilizing the combined CWO JULIUS Electrical Repair Officer efforts of Speed and the 'Ole Sea Daddy', the many Electrical and Elec- tronic jobs and problems during the deployment were aptly handled and they found it pretty tough to 'shake' the Brains and Brawn Division.

The divers keptlthe 'situation well in hand with the HAZARDOUS work they preform under water on the destroyers keeping them ready for action. It is in theTorpedo Shop where the 'fiish' are overhauled, checked, and put back in the fleet as tested and ready for action. In the P1-int Shop can be heard the roar ,of the presses as they turn out 'sheet after 'sheets of printed matter for the destroyers, 'Service'Force Sixth Fleet, as well as their own ship. Last but not least is the Photo Lab., which has the job of taking, developing, and making prints for 'ships use as well as for the destroyer force. 7-.F -v. - s S S Sl CWO GRESHAM Torpedo Officer E1 i Ma s Anderson Yoder, Kinney, Front row: Ueft to H350 C0Sffmzo, Smith, Mc wa n, Y 1 1 Bates, HughBSp Miller- - 1-, n Williams Slice Allison Back row: fleft to rightj Mr. Gresham.
