Running a regular cycle of tests and checks on their mounts, the CHILTON gun cockers keep the ship's mounts ready at all times to defend her against hostile action. Fourth Division Firecontrolmen perform the equally im- portant task of maintaining the gun direction systems. Without the efficient operation of the gun directors, the effectiveness of the guns themselves would be cut substantially.

The 'Personnel Officer is responsible for the proper maintenance and custody of enlisted service records. He oversees the preparation of enlisted transfer orders, discharges, and reenlistments.

They process and control official correspondence, reports, legal matters, officer records, instructions, and official publications. The senior yeoman is the Ship's Secretary, and serves as the Captain's writer. Personnelmen maintain enlisted service records, and perform many vital services for members of the crew. Nearly everything of importance that affects a sailor's life aboard ship is recorded or initiated by Personnelmen - orders, evaluation marks, recommendations for advancement, applications for schools, discharges and reenlist- ments. Postal Clerks provide the big morale booster of any cruise V- the Letter from home. They also mail letters home, of course, and sell money orders and stamps. I -.jiifs2', 1:a-,2,f ,.

CIC assists in every operations at sea, by navigating, watching the position of ships in the Task Force, handling voice radio traffic, and encoding and decoding tactical signals.

COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER MMuNlcATloNs DE ARTME Navymen in sleek modern ships are often surprised to learn that the twenty - five year old CHILTON boasts sophisticated and powerful communications facilities equalled by very few ships in the fleet. The task of operating this com- plex package falls to the Communications Depart- ment under LTJG John Cline. The record of CHILTON's Comm personnel is an enviable one. Their performance has earned praise from many who have benefited from CHILTON's services. In addition to signaling, handling radio teletype trafficand CW messages,Communications personnel maintain their equipment, route operational messages, and operate as a relay station for other commands. During one recent operation, CHILTON relayed for sixteen different ships at one time, including the flagship of the Sixth Fleet Commander. Rad fc Rmm Rad IQ fl.

The equipment maintained by the ET's aboard CHILTON include the air search radar, surface search radar, Ship to Ship communications, ship to shore communications, electronic counter measures equipment , and navigational electronic equipment. In the absence of a tender, the ET's aboard CHILTON were often asked to assist the hips in PHIBRON TWO. They provided technical assistance in crypto, radar, high and ultra igh frequency transmitters. Thus, the electronics technicians were able to help maintain high standard of performance within the squadron as well as aboard CHILTON. The fact that the ET's were able to maintain their equipment to such a high standard of efficiency resulted in four commendations for outstanding individual performances. These were ET2 Joseph ROACH, ET3 Carlton COTTERELL, ET3 Ronald BAILY, and ETCM Donald y OERSCH, head of the ET gang. 5 4 f5'Wf'?,FfQ22'yf'3. , 7 fl f , sm, .aww , ' .fs V 554 I , ,V .

Gillingham SUPPLY OFFICER SUPPL EPARTMENT The Supply Department, headed by LCDR Roger Gillingham, makes, the Navy Supply System motto, Service to the Fleet, a reality aboard CHILTON. The two supply divisions maintain the ship in fighting trim by providing those day to day services that are at once so vital and so often taken for granted. Store- keepers issue, order,and stock spare parts and replacements for equipment and machinery. Commissarymen feed. the crew and hundreds of 'hungry embarked troops. Stewards Mates serve meals in the officers' wardroom. Ship's Servicemen provide a variety of services from laundry service for all hands to running the Ship's Store and soda fountain. The Disbursing Clerks maintain pay records for all aboard and often: help out smaller commands by holding pay day aboard ships having no on board disbursing facilities. Green Backs anyone? I !
