Thnt's the joh the OH Division started out to do from the day of etunniissioning-to sec that the Mighty K could pour out enough fire, fnst enough and efficiently enough, to accom- plish any mission culled upon to perform. That the Kenton took care of herself in the clinches is in no suinll part due to these gunners, the smallest but perhaps the mightil est division nhonrtl. 1 lil,-'f yr 'ii' G9- Q nn '

Laelcing much in the way of experience and organization, but little in the way of determination to make good, the C8tN gang was taken in hand on arrival by department head and navigator Lt. lfomdr. Koberle and division officer Lt. Braxtan. They were fortunate in drawing such other capable leaders as I,t. Burt. head of the radio department, Lt. Cigj Husted, in charge of radar, and linsign Madden and Chief McCoy in control of the signalmen. Under the guidance of these orheers and because of the will to make good ofthe men, CSN soon rounded into a smart and capable division. lt is a unit with spirit, humor and close comradeship. Daily instructions and competitions have kept the men of C8tN on their toes, and as a result there are few among them who have not earned raises in rating while aboard. Other than handling the work of Communications and Naviga- tion, the division contributes to the welfare of the ship a chaplain's assistant, several yeomen and two mailmen. lt is the only division aboard with a paper of its own, and their Kroniele, edited by Signalman Jordan, is a Weekly reading must throughout the ship. x 4 I i,,, A L X X?
