H... 9 rl FARRAGUT conducted many submarine tracking exercises while in the Mediterranean, firing practice torpedoes at the elusive sub-surface target. The MK-32 torpedo is presently the U.S. Navy's most sophisticated surface launched torpedo. The ASROC is a rocket thrown torpedo. The rocket projects the torpedo to a predesignated spot and the torpedo is released into the water where it begins its search. - I top right!

FIR T DIVISIO The title of Boatswain's Mate is truly synonymous with the term salty . Old saltv of course originally applied to sailors of long ago who worked the decks and riggings of fhe tall ships which relied on wind for power. Those were hard men, braving the elements of the sea both day and night. Today these salty sailors still face stiff winds, salt spray and extreme temperatures, even on a modern ship like FARRAGUT. A normal working day for the men of First Division is anywhere from 8-12 hours long. When not on watch, Deck Force is carrying out the other aspects of their job, ranging from deck seamanship to life guard detail during underway replenishment. Watch stations include the bridge detail which consists of: Boatswain's Mate of the Watch, Helmsman and Lee Helmsman, Port and Star- board Lookouts and After Lookout or Fantail Watch. Each of the three watch sections stands eight hours of Watch duties daily. The men of Deck also man helo stations for helo transfers as well as the small boats. Deck personnel keep the boats in tip top condition and operate them whenever the situation dictates that a boat must be lowered over the side. The work First Division performs is very visable and everyone onboard has benefit- ed from their efforts one time or another. May the Deck Force be with you. Q. .F in ,rn 1 M w. . . .
