These men enabled the ship to fire more than 8000 rounds in support of the South Vietnamese efforts. The Gunners Mates man and maintain two 5 !54 rapid fire guns. These guns together can fire 80 rounds per minute at a range of nearly 15 miles. The Fire Control Technicians are responsible for the ships MK56 and MK68 fire control systems. This complex equip- ment enables DAVIS to lock on an enemy aircraft up to 25 miles away - even if the aircraft is travelling up to 2000 miles per hour. Small arms also come under second divisions cognizance and many of its men are members of the ships landing party.

THIRD DIVISIQN Third Division is made up of ASFIOC Gunners Mates, Sonar Technicians, and Torpedomen. These men are responsible for the manning and maintenance of the Antisubmarine Warfare Equip- ment aboard DAVIS - Sonar, ASROC and Torpedoes. Should the ship encounter an enemy submarine the Sonarmen would detect and track it using sonar. Once the submarine is discovered, the ship is maneuvered to enable the ASFIOC Gunners Mates and Torpedomen to attack it. DAVIS' primary underwater weapon is the long distance homing torpedo fired from pneumatic tubes or as the warhead on a rocket known as ASROC. These weapons combined with the ship's great speed and maneuverability make DAVIS an outstanding ASW ship. While in Vietnamese waters Third Division helped man the Ship's gunmounts, magazines, 50 cal. machine guns, and the Fire Control Directors in addition to carrying out their regular duties.
