4th Division Fourth Division has the responsibility for the sailor's favorite conveyance: The Liberty Boats. Deck shoe clad boat crews jocky their charges with what looks like the ease of driving as car. When in reality it requires extremely competent seamanship to park a boat, first time, everytime. Fourth Division's main function is the operation and maintenance of the ship's boats. lf at any time ROOSEVELT has a man overboard, 4th Division personnel man the motor whale boats port and starboard. One is responsible for getting the man to safety. The launching of boats is necessary for downed aircraft and protection and safety of the pilots. During underway replenishment we man the phone and distance line which supplies communications from ship to ship. ff I I I I I I 3 ENS L W PATTERSON BMC L R HABERMAN SA S A ADAMSON SA D K ANDERSON SA J R ANTCZAK SN V R CAMPBELL SN M CARTER SN D S CHAPPELL SN A A COBUBAT SN L E DALY SN D H DEMORY SN R J DUPUIS SA J E ELLIS SA M A GORDON SN D M HOLT BM1 H R JOHN SN G V KING SN V A LARSON SA R H LAVTERS BM2 P E MANNING SN C J MARQUIS SA D L MCALLEN SR R D MCCUMBER SN D P MCGILVREY SN R MOORE SN T J MORRONE SA S R REITAN SN G SANDER SA D B SHAND SN A P SIMON SN N L SIMS SN J G SIZEMORE SN R G STORY SN G E WILLIAMS YN3 D E YOUNG BM2 T W YOUNG
