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.

Cne of the most important facets in the history of our Navy has been the ability of our ships to lay accurate, rapid and continuous fire against the enemy. The nucleus of the team reql, 4 to attain this ability is the Gunnersmate. During the '59 cruise the gunners were given ample opportunity to put their technical knowledge and experience to use. Exercises such as anti-aircro ', shore bombardment, surface sled, and star shell shoots were conducted many times calling for a great deal of preparation and maintenance. From the Gunnersmates point of view, their greatest achieve- ment Was reached shortly after being detached from the For- mosan Patrol. A Nationalist Chinese aircraft towed a sleeve which on four successive passes was neatly severed from its cable by direct hits. All hands were exhilarated by the fine exhibition and have since recalled the sense of satisfaction over the outstanding efforts of the Gunnery Division. It's up here. somewhere. u Figaro, Figaro.
