H. 3' ' J Sth DIVISION Rapid firing five inch gun crews of the starboard battery form the sister-division of the Fourth, the Fighting Fifth: Owning the Starboard side of the Ol level, and the main deck from the quarterdeck aft to the dawn of the Seventh divisi0n's reign, this 90 man division manages to get in a full .days work every day. In addition to assisting the 4th with her requirements the Fifth has the honor of the forward stack and the dress accommodation ladder to up-hold. Flight Quarters, Personnel, Fire and Rescue Parties, and life boat details assemble here for embarkation in time of need. Loading drills and side cleaners are a constant menace to production yet the Fifth produces in an unerring manner. The multitude of below decks spaces are a credit to a fine division doing a fine job. Williams, C. R. 1

T. sin DIVISION LW Somewhere aft on the portside of the main deck between the Third and Fourth Divisional spaces you will find the Scrappy Sixth Division manning their 5 mounts of 3 f50,'swar1ning through the after superstructure, or cleaning the endless miles of below deck passageways. The constant plead of the motherly boatswainsmates eagerly enticing their men on to greater acclaim in their battle against rust and corrosion is justas common in the Sixth as elsewhere. The Pea Shooter battery is a tough bunch of working sailors. Long hours in open gun mounts separated by grinding days on deck have failed to wear out this energetic crew. Working parties, details, man power and cleaning stations are routineevolutions. On rare occasions a wire high line is rigged in the center of their domain, on that day the Sixth earns its pay-plus. Hard working, energetic-the Scrappy Sixth operates the No. 4 30 foot motor launch and the many ammunition trains accompanying their 3 batteries. I f. I I l I 1 l i I i I I Ii.
