GUNNERY DEPARTMENT 3RD DIVISION 3RD DIVISION DHSCRIITION The Third Division, or as old rimers mighr prefer, G division, is composed of Fire Control Technicians, Gunner ' s Mates, Sonarmen, and Torpedomen. A most notable loss to the division early in the cruise was that of Chief Sonarman Huckabone, who fell from a helicopter breaking his leg. All rates within the Third Division suffered due to lack of training services, but nontheless each competitive exercise received at least a good. The sonarmen who were sunk early in the cruise came back at the end witli a kill in the Naples sortie. The FT ' s and GM ' s still had hopes of an air shoot as the cruise neared an end, but the torpedomen could only think back to Guantanamo Bay Cuba last exercise fish. f o i M BOGGIO, A.

The men are Boiler Tenciers and Machinists Mates. They are rarely seen but we know they must be in the spaces because the lights are on, fresh water is available, and the ship is moving. The result of many hours of maintenance in port and at sea and technical as well as team training is the ability to answer all bells. Before the guns can shoot and the radar can assist in fleet defense, the engineer ' s must provide the means to propell 3500 tons to the desired location. DRA TON. T . BT2 Gcor,«to«Ti. S. C.
