LTJG Buzhardn GMC Bruyn The smallest and one of the hardest Working divisions aboard LYNDE MCCORMICK is ' ' G Division. The division's primary job is to keep the ship's two 5 !54 Caliber Rapid Fire Guns shooting - and a never ending job it is. Other duties include control and storage of all ammunition, control and mainte- nance of the small arms arsenal, the care and testing of the magazines and magazine sprinkler systems, the keeping of all gunnery records, and of course the condition and cleanliness of all gunnery spaces including the 01 level aft. During the period on the Gunline no one was busier than the gunnersmates - the 4000 + seventy pound projectiles fired are proof of that. It can be added that this was the operation the GMG's preferred, because on the Gunline the success of the Whole ship's mission depended directly on how Well the guns Worked, so their job took on great importance. And the guns did worklf Front fleft to rightj SN Stites, GMM3 Corzan, GMG3 Outley, GMGC Bruyn, LTJG Buzhardt, SN Comer, GMG3 Coleman, GMG3 Houser. Making a ' minor' repair to MT 51. SN Coleman .
