THIRD DIVISION Third Division, normally one of the busiest divisions underway, found itself in an interest- ing predicament for most of deployment — without a job. Well, not exactly. The Sonar Technician ' s of Third Division search for, track, and prosecute submarines, while the Torpedomen and the Gunners Mates (missiles) maintain the Torpedo Room and the ASROC Launcher and their associated weapons. How- ever, because the submarine threat in the Per- sian Gulf was non-existent, they had little to do. Third Division therefore found itself un- dertaking many tasks not normally expected of them. Primary among these tasks was the augmen- tation of Second Division and their topside gunnery stations. Yes, the ST ' s abandoned their dark, quiet refuge in Sonar Control for the punishing rays of a harsh Arabian sun. Nary a bronze Sonar Technician had many complaints. The other place Third Division personnel went was Combat Information Center (CIC). With the increased requirements of Persian Gulf manning, they were readily welcomed by the Operation Specialists. Third Division is led by LTJG Getler with STGCS Allen and STGC (SW) Penne. LTJG Ro bert M. Getler ASW Officer Spartce, NJ STGCS William C. Allen San Diego, CA TMl Henry E.
