VVHETHER we are concerned with dro in 1 . . PP S we hook , taking a liberty boat from the ship to the beach, or the manning of a five-inch u f E g n or our own preserva- tion in the case ol an attack, the Second division is on hand to contribute its part of the maneuver. These are not the only details of their work, for they are responsi- ble for the rigging of a boat boom, maintenance of part of the ship's interior, and control of the peak tank which helps the ship keep on an even keel. Ensign Schultz, the division officer, his junior division ofhcers, ENS Bayliss and NES Wagle, CMC Shealy and Turner, BMI, direct and supervise the activities of this division of fifty-five men. Upper Left: Turning the 'Chain' against the pull of a fifteen-ton anchor is a back-breaking task. The sweat that drips from the backs ol these ten men give evidence ol one of the real jobs that no machine has been devised to replace-the anchor dolly. Upper Middle: Fat Boy Turner, BMI, complacently smokes his pipe with a satisfied look, watches the peons preparing to put on the stoppers, or pelican hooks, that will secure the tremendous weight of the chain and anchor. Upper Right: The Anchor Chain and a l nc ior get a stiff salt-water bath to insure that no mud is pulled from the ocean floor. This is a routine operation each time our anchor is h ' l ' d ' ' ' oistec an serves to protect these valuable links while at an anchorage. Lower Left: The Crew of the forward five-inch mo t' 1 l un s ets oose a salvo. Constant practice shooting at the towed gunnery sleeve keeps their shootin' eye at the peak of real efficiency. . Lower Middle: As the Chain is heaved in around the Wildcat it disa ears into the ch ' l k pp am oc er. These men are engaged in re- painting the worn markers on the links of chain, which are used as depth markers, before they disappear into the chain locker. Lower Right: Scharf, SN in chains heaving th l l l' , ,D e eac ine, a time-honored custom and means of obtaining the depth of the water. By the deep six, and fair water and a safe passage. '
