During the entire cruise, whether goodwilling, patrol- ing or rendering assistance to those in distress, a small group of men has been quietly and effectively performing its iob of keeping the MC CAIN fully prepared to defend her nation's interests in WESTPAC. The group: Fox Division, the men: Fire Control Technicians and Sonarmen. Fortu- nately, we were not forced to use the firecontrol and ASW systems for the purpose for which they were designed. Nonetheless in the shoots and Hukking the MC CAIN showed the results of the excellent maintenance and oper- ation of these systems by Fox Division. Along with the work was also the lighter side, under the leadership and technical supervision of Chief TRACEY, the midnight cons casualty raid in Buckner went off with- out a flaw. MOLINE and HELMS, the baggy eyed night owls, spent many sleepless nights with their ol' friend the MK25, while slugger MOYER was busy with the Christmas tree watch down in forward plot. Last but far from least were the sonarmen and their day or night-hell or high water BT drops, interrupted only by positive evaluations on seaweed, porpoise and other formidable denizens of the deep. To those who will leave us in Pearl Harbor, Godspeed. The unity within the Division promises to make future cruises even more rewarding. flfneeling left to rightjz Tracey, V.C., Mathews, D.M. flfront rowjz Mercer, W.J., Jennings, W.H., Tonner RC.- Dreyfus, L.J., Lingo, C.E., Chandler, C.A., Musson, G.L., Wilborn, W.D.
