NAVIGATION LTJG K. D. Rogers Navigation, an independent department while deployed, is responsible for the various aspects of ship ' s physical movement through inland, international and restricted waters. The navigation department is responsible for guaranteeing that the ship maintains course and avoids charted hazards. This requires that the utilization of many traditional and modern methods, modern navigational meth- ods such as the fathometer. Satellite Navigation System (SATNAV), OMEGA and radio messages ensure greater accuracy than in past years. However, time-honored tech- niques of shooting stars and sun lines, utilizing charts and publications and maintain- ing rigid watches are still in use making Navigation exact science. 40

X DIVISION LT E. J. Wilson Updating personnel records, typing up personnel evaluations, issue leave orders are three of the varied tasks that administrative personnel do. The nriaintenance alone of listed personnel records requires meticulous work that takes up a lot of v orking hours. Directives and communications relating to transfers, receipts, advancements or reduc- tion in rating, reenlistments, discharges, or any other changes in the status of the enlisted personnel are executed and recorded by this division. Known as X division while deployed to the Western Pacific, the processing of enlisted performance evaluation sheets, leave papers, identification cards and transfer orders were done in a systematic manner to the satisfaction of the crew. Records of non- judicial punishments promulgated by the Commanding Officer were compiled and forwarded to the proper personnel for execution. The division also initiates correspondence needed to ensure that pertinent information concerning the ships allowance and use of personnel is brought to the attention of the type commander or the Chief of Naval Personnel as appropriate. Later on combined with the Navigation division on the conclusion of WESTPAC, prospective school attendees were being screened and their eligibility studied. These are the ever on-going task of the X division wherever DOWNES may go. 42
