D. 7th DIVISION Competing with the Sixth for honors in the 3 batteries the Slugging Seventh Division rules the roost on the starboard side of the ship. Numbering well over a hundred able bodies this Division can stand up proudy as one of the work horses of the ship. The stations manned by the Seventh Division are similar to those of the Sixth except that their high line station gets a Workout frequently. 0n one recent occasion, under darken ship conditions, 12 men were transferred aboard from a tanker by high line in the same record time as a similar evolution would require during the day. The usual contest between the ship and the elements goes on in the Seventh, as all over the ship, employing a large number of men daily in the war of rust and paint. All evolutions draw heavily on this part of the ship, long blue lines of box carriers and projectile packers track the route to the stowage points all the while the sailors game of horseplay is evident. Hard working, agressive and Slugging the Seventh rides it out.
