5,,l,gl'fb n . N if ns. . , P' I TRODUCI G THIRD DIVI IO The men of 'Ihird Division have the responsibility of main- taining and operating MAURY's two LCVP's, an LCPL, the Captains Gig and Sound Boats 6 and 7. When not raising and lowering boats to transport beach and liberty parties or man- ning the crash boat during flight quarters, the division busies itself with keeping the weather decks, bulkheads and doors on the 01, 02, and 03 levels well preserved and spotless. Though landing craft were not primarily utilized for beach- camp replenishment, the provisioning midway through the sure vey season of Station Red on l-lermana Menor Island by using LCVP No.2 gave Third Division an excellent opportunity to demonstrate its boat operation ability. With Anderson, BM2, at the helm, the landing craft navigated through 3 miles of uncharted coral reefs surrounding the island and landed with high surf conditions on the beach. Upon completion of replen- ishment, the LCVP returned safely to the MAURY. 'lhe men of Third Division are proud of their spaces and themselves. All hands in the division have demonstrated time and time again their willingness and ability to handle any job under any set of conditions.
