GUNNERY DEPARTMENT 1 2 DIVISION DESCRIPTION To maintain a neat and clean exterior appearance on a constantly operating destroyer is indeed a huge job. This task is the primary responsibility of the Deck personnel of the HAWKINS. Chipping, red- leading and painting occupies a great share of the deck departments time in a continuing and never ending battle against rust. Aside from being rust chasers and paint scrapers the Deck divisions are responsible for all the rigging necessary for our numerous underway evolutions. They handle the fueling rigs from the oilers and high lines and spanwires that bring personnel and provisions to the HAWKINS. These are the fellows who let go the anchor, tie up at the pier, crew the liberty boat and man the life guard stations. In short, hardly anything goes on on a weather deck that doesn ' t involve these men directly. I 1 Flynn, R. J., BMC Brooklyn, N. Y. 1st 2nd DIVISIONS Hudson, A. J., SN St. Louis, Mo. Grover, J.
