VV Q Foxes are the biggest, proudest outfit in the Gunnery Department. We cover the ship fronn stem to stern and from keel to director top. For the most part we ' re right where we can see and be seen. In our steady grip rests the operation, maintenance and repair of all the fire control equipment on the ship, the armory and the gunnery office. Competition ' s keen among the various elements of the division. Throughout the cruise the 3 battery tried to hold the spotlight by keeping the temperamental 56 system whipped into shape. Although not winning any free games, they ran up some steadily improving scores and are now in pretty fine shape. The Foxes of the 5 and 8 batteries were not to be outdone in the struggle for recognition. Surface raiders were their meat, and meat they had a-plenty. Remember Operation Mainbrace? Remember the Quebec? Need they say more? And then there are the stray Foxes — the ones who count out the rounds of gun salutes honoring countries, kings, queens, ministers and military leaders of all the nations we have visited. There are the yeoman Foxes who fight and somehow emerge triumphant from the everlasting paper war of the Gunnery Department. Yes, there are a lot of us. And from us all — some now a little wiser, others a little thinner, some just plain tired, and all a little older — a universal sigh . . . La cruise est finle!
