The Division is composed of Gunners Mates (Missile) who maintain the MK lOGMLSand Fire Control Men (Missile) who are re- sponsible for the Missile and Test Equipment. While much of their work is done within restricted areas of the ship, the end result of their labors is obvious to all when a Terrier Missile is sent streaking toward its target. 31

Bajgrowicz, D.; Gronberg, J.D.; Ingraham, D.E The Fire Control Technicians of WF Division usually managed to keep smiling despite the numerous difficulties encountered in main- taining the complex Gun and Missile Fire Control Systems aboard COONTZ. Although only one missile was fired during the cruise, the systems had to be continuously kept in readiness for any emergency which might have arisen. WF did manage to have a division party at Grande Island in Subic Bay and were always active participants in the various ship ' s parties. 1 HAVE THE DECK. THE CONN AND THE HELM: 33
