E. l 2 2 F DIVISICN Fire Control is the term used by the Navy to describe the many activities involved in aiming the guns. The problem is complicated by the target's motion, the movement of our own ship through the water, and the rolling and pitching of the ship. With LT J. G. Wilson as Division Officer, Fox Division is made up of almost 100 fire-control teclmicians and strkers. Assisting with divisional duties are LTJG J. A. Newpher, LTJG J. L. Norris and CHGUN C. E. Boxell. F Division is responsible for the maintenance of all the fire-control radars, gun directors, computers, range-keepers, optical range Enders, and synchro systems that are used to position the guns automatically after a solution of the target's course and speed has been developed in a computer or range-keeper. Men of the Fox Division stand condition watches and man general quarters stations at the equipment that is their responsibility for maintenance. The nerve center of the gunnery installation is the plotting room, Main Battery Plot for the eight inch riiies, and Sky Plot for the anti-aircraft batteries. Fox Division also includes the gunners mates who 'work in the armory under CHGUN L. A. Olmsted. Y-.1 I . ,. 'Q 'i . .. .l Q i 'I F 'Y -. P l l . l 1 l l -Xxltfs X . Y-'.lssYAs-lifl N .os N .
