GUNNERY The primary mission of the Gunnery Department is to defend the ship against attack. Deck seamanship and the security of the ship are other im- portant tasks. On many ships of the Navy the guns are used offensively. However, on board an aircraft carrier our primary job is defense of the ship against air attacks. The Ordnance Divisions are re- sponsible for the many guns, directors, magazines and associated ordnance equipment. The 4th Division Gunner's Mates keep the five 3 f 38 twin mounts ready to fire. The 5th Division main- tains the eight 5 f 38 single mounts. Fox Division keeps the batteries aligned and maintains the seven gun directors and plotting room. The 6th Division keeps close check 'on the many ammu- nition, bomb and rocket magazines spread throughout the ship. W Division handles any matters pertaining to Special Weapons. The Deck Divisions have the never ending task of keeping us smart and shipshape. Various deck evolutions such as dropping the anchors, mooring to a pier, refueling destroyers and high- lining movies are handled by the Boat- swain's Mates. The lst Division takes care of the fo'c's'le, anchors and asso- ciated ground tackle. The 2nd, 3A and 3B Divisions handle the rest of the ship's fueling stations, mooring lines, boats and launches. Underway the helmsman and lee helmsman who steer the ship come from the deck force. In port the liberty launches are operated by the deck force. During general quarters they help the Gunners' Mates fire the guns.
