They will be found employed in tasks ranging from OOD Messenger to wrestling with the 96 pound links of anchor chain during mooring operations. Although slightly aft of their frame jurisdiction the forward tanker and destroyer fuelingnstations are manned jointly by the First and Second divisions. No evolution in the forward half of the ship is by passed by the Second. Turret TWO sitting on its high barbette not only provides the source of some mighty fine shooting, but supplies high vantage points for such seaman like evolu- tions as high line transfers rearming and provisioning the ship. These men know a full days work every day. U

Frame 141, now nearly as famous a boundary as the 38th parallel, separates the Third Division from the Sixth and Seventh. Turret THREE firmly anchored just forward of this famous line houses the entire division during general quarters and condition II watches. The Third Division has a vastness of details unheard of elsewhere. From rigging and manning the after destroyer fueling station and the replenishing stations on either side of Turret THREE to playing YoYo with the helicopter and small boats this gang of heave-around sailors puts in some long days. The hanger space CFibber McGee's closet on the Los Angelesl is the catch all for any odd piece of material or gear that requires stowage. A normal clay in port involves rigging at least one boat boom in or out, handling 2O+30 tons of stores with the aviation crane, hoisting boats and running No. 3 motor launch. All this in addition to drills and normal routine. .
