Third Division he Gunner's Mates, equal to the best in t Navy, comprise the Third Division. They are responsible for two 6 f47 triple turrets, three 5 ,f38 twin mounts and the associated maga- zine spaces. In addition, they are responsible for the Armory and the ordnance used by the Landing Force Team. If the occasion should arise, the Third Division's guns can be counted on to deliver their maximum firepower. At Tabonnes, we conducted shore bombard- ment exercises where we once again proved that guns are here to stay. Turret 1 and Mount 53 are the proud recipients of GAL- VESTON's first E's . Turret 2 and Mounts 51 and 52 barely missed out in the competition. 1 1

Missile Division Most people on board know very little about the Missile Division since the majority of their work is' classi- fied and is done in the Missile House. The division, under the direction of LTJG C. L. BALLOU, is responsible for the maintenance and Opera, tion of the ship's missiles and missile launching system, Between the GMM's and the MT's, the missiles and the launching system are kept in a contant state of readiness, The only part of Missile Division that is normally seen by other personnel is the Launcher, located on the fantail. It is here that the division displays its Talog when we are in our home port and occasionally when visiting other ports. The two missiles used in the demon- strations are the trainer missiles carried for training and evaluation purposes. They have been named BETTY and GINNY which are the names of the Captain's and Execu- tive Officer's wives. 4.4
