1st DIVISION First Division — Frame 72 forward. Twenty- four hours a day these men were either turn- ing-to, on duty, or on call. There was endless activity and very few dull moments. There was our deck force, the work horses of the navy. In fair weather they kept busy topside, clean- ing, painting, preserving. Heavy weather drove them below decks, but the work went on, over- hauling tackle, splicing and cleaning — always cleaning. In their spare time they stood watches, manned lifeguard and rescue stations, rigged for fueling, and manned high lines and replen- ishment stations. Our three gunners mates were small in num- ber, but mighty big in production and know- how. Keeping our guns shooting was their main job, and they came through like the profession- als they are, but this never stayed them from taking some seamanship operations, training, and the endless battle against rust. Ping — Train — Listen Those are our sonarmen, or Ping Jockeys . Their job is to protect the ship against submarines. The hours are long, the procedure painfully monotonous, and the contacts few, yet without them we would have been helpless against submarines and mines. With them we were a powerful offensive weapon against any submarine. Last, but far from least, were our fire-control technicians. These were the boys who made the guns hit the target, repaired complicated elec- tronic equipment, and maintained the complex computers. They did a job and did it -well, com- parable to electronic and mechanical engineers. More than one night we found these men ' work- ing long hours overtime to fix inoperative equip- ment.

2nd DIVISION Second division — Frame 72 aft. That is quite a responsibility and we had the men who could handle it. Torpedo men, gunners mates and deck force made up the team that was responsible for the after part of the ship. The gunners mates kept maintenance on the fire power of the ship. Our guns were ready at a moment ' s notice to defend our ship against enemy attack. Although the torpedoes were never called up- on in action, the Torpedomen played their part on the team, keeping ready at all times. Whether it be 1200 or 2400 the deck hands were on station to take on fuel or transfer per- sonnel. Even though the rough seas and bad weather were against them, the -work was car- ried out without casualty. These were the men who made the team. Row One: G. A. Davis, Wolf, R. C. Harding, Driver, R.
