Our missiles wore a major deterrent against potential enemy air attacks against the carrier striking force, which we were helping to protect. The division ' s personnel maintained and operated the electronic equipment necessary to acquire and track a target, compute missile fire control problems, and guide the missile to its target. LT.

M. . - Missile Division kept our Talos missiles and test equipment in a ready lSSll6 cot,L ' ' t ' on so e would be available at any time to ward off any enemy 00 aircraft attempting an attack on the fleet. This was accomplished in the two checkout areas inside the Missile House. Each missile was checked out periodically to keep the ship ' s missile battery and missile launcher in a state of combat readiness. Two missiles were fired during an exercise off Okinawa.

Wain . i rMSN .-- -- While the guns of Third Division do all the firing, it is the plotting and directing Ff l of FG Division that places a projectile on its target. When firing at a range of several miles, many factors must be taken into consideration: speed and direction of the ship, speed and direction of the wind, land elevation, moving targets, timing of the fuse, and even the earth ' s rotation. Three different fire control systems are used within FG Division to solve fire control problems. w HNS Crowley; E.R. Betsworth, FTC; P.L. Myers, FTG1; D.W. Sawyer, FTM2; A.F.
