DECK OUR SEAMAN SPEAK The winter days were long and cold in Inchon, Korea. They were different from those in Subic Bay, Philippine Islands; Tour- rane Bay, French Indo China; and the various Japanese ports. Then, too, the day in the Deck Department varies, depending upon our ship ' s location. Since many of our men have been aboard for three or four years, we have become accustomed to duties as demanded under the various circumstances. It isn ' t always easy, but in the Deck Department our men live up to the pride, devotion, and tradition of the naval service. The deck seaman is the one who can point to his ship and say, That is my ship and I have done my part to make her a ship that we can claim wjth pride. It is my duty to keep her white, to keep her ship shape, to make her a proud ship and to fight for her name, if necessary. I run her boats, man her wheel, and stand a vigilant underway and in port watch. I man her lines, man her ground tackle and aid her Officer of the Deck in maintaining a taut secure watch on her bridge and quarter deck. I man her booms, secure her stores, and bring aboard her sick and wounded. I am her heart, her eyes, her arms and her legs. Through me she lives so that she may complete her mission and successfully maintain the out- standing reputation which she has so deservedly earned throughout her years of commissioned service. This is the Deck Department. As a component I have done my part in aiding her to complete another successful mission. 12
