ENS Emery The smallest deck division with the most deck to keep ship shape : you name it and we ' ve got it. Come aft to the fantail on any night to the open air theater and enjoy the latest movies. We also have an air field, a boat pool and a hardwood beach. These various activities keep the fighting Third hustling, but it ' s all in a day ' s work for us. Our quota of divisional clowns keeps the spirits up and helps end a hard day ' s work with a few laughs. But it isn ' t all seamanship. Turret III is often manned and we find ourselves passing ammuni- tion. The drills are sometimes long and tiring, but they do pay off. On field day the sun comes up to find the Third already pushing the holystone fore and aft in an even cadence across the fantail. Many nights the mid-watch will see the sleepless Third bring the ship ' s boats aboard. Some of the seamen may be sleepy eyed during these middle-of-the-night operations, but every one does his job smartly. Our fantail facilities are always at your disposal ; come aft any time, fair weather or foul, you ' ll find the salty Third division On Deck .
