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.
