N DIVISION The NH Division includes 25 quartermasters, buglers, photographers, aerograph- ers, and strikers for these rates, with LTJG M. V. Samuel the Division Oflicer. We all have heard the buglers. Perhaps there is no pleasure in hearing the bugler around reveille, but we Wait eagerly for him to sound liberty call, and We stand reverently before church call. Part of the Work of the photographers is scattered throughout this book. In addition, Navy photographers record accidents and action with the enemy for later study and analysis. Also, their Work is included in news releases made by the Navy Department to keep the public informed of the activities of its Fleets. Aerographers collect information regarding the Weather in adjacent areas. From the information collected the aerographer can make a forecast of the Weather to be expected. With such weather forecasts and information, the Captain can better choose a course to avoid h 4 ' eavy Weathei or a typhoon, and the commander ofa carrier task force can make plans for operation of aircraft. h Most of the men of the N Division are quartermasters. They are the ones who e p the Navigator determine the ships position, and maintain a plot on the chart so that the ship Will be kept on the proper course. The duties of the quartermaster include correcting charts, Winding and setting the ship's clocks, maintaining a record of incidents of the Watch from which the ship's log is prepared, and rendering assist- ance to the OOD in any Way required.
