DECK DEPT. LCDR. CHARLES L. TEEVAN First Lieutenant and Gunnery Officer New York, N, Y. V Aboard the Kenneth Whitmg two big departments — Gunnery and Deck — are combined to make up tlie one — Deck. Headed by the First Lieutenant, this organization is the largest en the ship. And with the aid of two Division Officers, and an assistant Gunnery Officer, the department head ' s duties and responsibihties are many and never ending. All deck seamanship, loading and unloading operations, and the upkeep of the ship ' s exter- ior — its cleanliness, preservati --- r. ' -.H r-tinting — are an around-the-clock job. If this wasn ' t enough, ;• n, maintenance, and repair of shin ' Q rirfiament — guns ar.c ;.„ „ plus their care; handling and explosives also are in its charge. And to insure that the ;. .. .. something to do, the operation and upkeep of the ship ' s half-dozen boats are tossed in to cap the day. In this department we have many tradesmen — Gunners, Boatswain Mates, Cox- swains, Painters, Sweepers, Swabbers, not to mention a few of the best darn Sea-Lawyers who ever chipped paint on a well- deck. And everyone will agree that this department ' s officers, petty officers, and men are highly important to the accom- plishment of the ship ' s mission. In fact, without such people, there is no way under the sun by which the Kenneth Whiting or any other ship could ever knife the first swell. X 28
