LCDR G. DUNCAN THE FUU TH AND THEIR THREES Ath Division Mons Secondory Battery When a carrier's planes are away on a strike, the ship is wholly dependent upon her own guns to safeguard her and her men from an air attack. The Lexington has both five-inch and three- inch gun mounts, the five inchers the most commonly installed gun on US Navy ships, and the three's the more BATTERING RAM-style, Fourth Division men clean out the bore of their three-incher modern. Replacing the 40 millimeter mounts used in the last war, the automatic three-inch weapons are more accurate and more deadly. Un the LEX, they are kept in perfect fighting trim by the men of the Fourth Division who also man key positions on these mounts during GQ Air Defense. LTJG P. BRUCK FIVE INCH gun crew watches trailing smoke from life- size drone aircraft, victim of the threes. Competition is keen between crews, arguments usually follow each ukillingf, KITCHEN SINK, unusual cleaning space for gunners, would be used in battle-feeding men on mounts.
