Q F wmv- LT 1. E. PURSLEY Boonville, Indiana ASW Officer Ex-Dash Officer ASW DEPARTME T I Anti-submarine warfare, or ASW, is the primary function of the GEARING. The ASW Department includes the torpedo, ASROC, DASH, and Sonar Divisions. These various weapons together give the ship both a long and short range ASW capability in conjunction with the sonar gangis ability to ac- quire and maintain contact with underwater targets. Each of the ASW weapons involves the delivery of a torpedo, but the variety of the delivery methods is significant. The torpedo gang fires its torpedoes directly off the ship's torpedo deck just forward of the bridge, while the GMM's fire their torpedoes by means of an anti-submarine rocket. The DASH men utilize remotely controlled drone anti-submarine helicopters to carry their fish,'. All men in the ASW Department must be highly skilled technicians, as the ship's equipment for these defenses is primarily new and complicated computer and control systems. With a nuclear capability in the ASW field, the GEARING plays an important and serious role in our nation's defense. D ash Officer Assistant ASW LTJG R. G.
