LTJG Clark LTJG Molkenthin CWO McKinley To an outsider, the Foxtrot division most likely sounds like a class in dancing. But ask any man in it and he ' ll tell you it is one of the proudest and most efficient divisions on the ship. At any time we may be seen serving as messengers of the watch for the O.O. D. or as ordnance security petty officers. During a regular working day our cleaning spaces cover practically the entire ship. We may be found in the plotting rooms, the directors and the radar rooms. Our primary concern, however, is the operation and maintenance of the gear whose function is to lay the guns accurately on the target. We get plenty of practice too, what with Condition III, IAA, T.D.S. evaluation and General Quarters. But neither are we glory boys. Some of the credit should be heaped upon the Yeomen in the Gunnery Office who are constantly fighting the never ending stacks of paperwork necessary to keep the Gunnery Department running smoothly. Last but not least are the boys in the Armory. They are usually seen around the saluting batteries, in the various magazines, or in the Armory itself, doing their utmost to do a good job. Under the able leadership of ENS Terranova and LTJG Molkenthin, the f oxtrotters feel that this has been both a pleasant and successfu l cruise.
