ln..- , ...,..,,...-. . YOU missed CI S-PON Rig out the boat, boys. Gutter, the slave-driver. Accommodation ladder going down The first impression one receives upon com- ing aboard the PARKS is that of the exterior appearance, which is reputed to be among the finest in the Pacific Fleet. The function of keep- ing this appearance in top shape is ably per- formed by the Deck Division. The seamen led by the boatswain's mates spend many long hours chipping, painting and cleaning the top- side spaces. However, replenishment at sea finds them at all stations transferring ammuni- tion, fuel and provisions and in port they are responsible for seeing that the ship is properly moored or anchored, and that the motor whale- boat is manned and cared for. Both underway and in port, men from Deck Division stand vital watches: messenger, helms- man, lookout, and supplement repair parties, fire and rescue parties, landing parties and so on. The men must be versatile and be prepared to perform a variety of tasks for they are the strikers to be of the petty officer rates which are trained in the technical aspects of the ship's operations. Sometimes it is not until an impor- tant inspection is impending or an emergency arises that their full value is realized but they can always feel proud that an essential job is well done. AHA! A mermaid! But we just did this last week! I hope the secx plug is in! ll

Foxtrot Division is composed of Torpedomen, Fire Control Technicians and Sonarmen who have differ- ent hut allied duties. The Torpedomen, who have fired four of the 2l torpedoes successfully this year, are in charge of the depth charges, surface and ASW torpedoes and their associated equipment. The FT's are responsible for the accuracy with which the guns are layed and the speed with which the air and sur- face targets are acquired. The Sonarmen seek out the undersea craft which are the chief worry of most surface sailors - the sulomarine. Besides standing watches in port and underway, Foxtrot Division aids the Deck Division in its duties as well as keeping its own spaces, both external and internal, in good condition. The many excellent gun- nery and exercises this year are a credit to the division and the intense training has made many a boot into an experienced old-timer by the end of the cruise.
