151- THE UTILITY DIVISION lends a hand to bring aboard oil or stores, drops the gangway, swings out a boat boom, and sets up the quarterdeck-and sweeps it down five times a day, fires the forward forties , helps run the liberty parties ashore Qwhen number three motor launch is not being cleaned by the side cleanersj. Ensigns Forehand and Kaufman with Simmons, BM1 and Price GMI provide the orders, and Bosn McNealy is to be found any day currying and chauffeuring the Captain's gig. Despite the variety of tasks to which they are assigned, they are never too busy to take time out and dig deep into their pockets to be among the leaders in contribut- ing to charitable causes. They are the Space-setters in their generous contributions. Upper Left: Dowd, SN, gives the quarterdeck a last-minute sweeping prior to the ship's anchorin and the settin f th h , g g o e watc on the quarterdeck. Xfvlfll this transformation it becomes one of the most active parts of the ship while at anchor. Upper Middle: A group of third division men on the steam winch prepare to lower the fender cluster by the starboard gangway. This serves to keep the boats from riding into the ship's sides. Upper Right: Ack-Ack Corner cuts loose with everything except the ship's spuds. These marksmen are bearing down on a radio- controlled drone which is being used for the forty mm. gunners' practice. Lower Left: Third Division Seaman Kroop carefullykflemishes the after steadying line on the Captain's gig. No sli shod seamanshi P P tolerated here, for these men are picked because of their skill in marlinspike seamanship. Lower Middle: The Captain's Gig, suspended from the after crane, is being gently lowered, taking care not to scratch its high gloss. Coxs'n McNeely judges the sea with a practiced eye, while Swanitz, MM2 Whitney, SN, and Kloppff, SN Hdffllfe their Work- Lower Right: A Cargo Net full of spuds comes over on a single house fall while. taking on. provisions alongside an AK in Naples, Italy. Members of the third division stand by to lend their expert handling while unloading the cargo net.
