DECK DEPARTMENT I - hi LT ROBERT ■BUZZ CHILDERS ! al 1 ] ENS HEKMAT D TAMIMIE » ENS GERALD SCHWARTING ENS PAUL MURDOCK Maintaining a sharp appearance of the ship and providing 24 hour security are primary tasks of the Deck Department With two deck divisions of approximately 40 deck technicians each and a Weapons Division of eight gunner ' s mates. Deck is the second largest department in LA SALLE Routine underway evolutions include refueling, replenishment of stores, personnel transfer, amphibious operations, and gunnery exercises, f any of these depend on a high degree of skill and experience in the operation of boats, cranes, and rigs — a difficult task with an ever changing staff Perhaps the most important tasks of the Deck Force are those rarely accomplished though often practiced abandon ship, man overboard, and self defense. Combat loading and evacuation are also important responsibilities. Routine preservation and maintenance of the ship ' s weatherdecks and sides require most of the department ' s time in port Being the only white commissioned ship in the Navy provides a unique challenge to even the crustiest of salts.
