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.

The Law Firm of Johnsen, LTJG, jenkins, LTJG, Johnston, Ensign, and Wille, Ensign, working in close cooperation with Brombacker, GMC, and Dunlap, MB2, provide the supervision and direction for the Fourth Division, which calls its home the Fantail. There they stand ready to throw a high-line to a wandering can or pay out the towing spar to sharp- Upper Left: Continued Maintenance. Here l en the eyes of the air group gunners. If needs be men of the Fourth Division will troop forward to number two fueling station to man the lines and fueling hoses. With the call of Air Defense, Air Defense-All men man your air defense stations rush topside to man the after five- inch batteries. Their record on the after five-inch batteries is an impressive one-one large drone and seven target sleeves. ' ' b . are tie results of dailylconscientious work, a clean, well-oiled mechanism, capable of delivering rapid, continuous fire against an enemy. Salinger, GM3 doing the honors with a grease gun. Upper Middle: -One of Several odd tasks that come up at frequent intervals in Gunnery is replenishing the ship's magazines. A job that requires expert planning and long, hard, back-breaking hours of moving thousand-pound bombs, 5-inch projectiles, etc., from barges alongside to the flight deck, and then down eight decks to the magazines. An unforgettable experience! Upper Right: Piana, SA and 'Wroblewski, SN, at work cleaning the breech and adjacent area of a 5-inch 38 cal. gun. The Fourth Division does more than clean guns, but these boys are particularly good. Lower Left: Beaming Bos'n Dunlap proudly exhibits a board full of fancy work, the handiwork of the Fourth Division. Such work is almost a lost art today. How many can you identify? See any Matthew Walkers or six-strand Turk's Heads? Lower Right: Here is the result of all the cleaning and maintenance. A well-trained crew putting out the salvoes in rapid suc- cession. Note the brilliance of the Hash, this marks clean and well-operating guns.
