ENS FREDERICK E. SHAPLEY Division Officer ENS GERALD A. BURNETT Assistant Division Officer FIR T DIVI IO During the 1964-1965 survey season First Division was involved in a variety of jobs of deck seamanship. Along with the day to day jobs of chipping paint and swabbing the deck, some of the major accomplishments were as follows. After taking part in dry docking the ship at Mare Island, preparations were begun for the up coming oper- ational readiness inspection. For ORI the highline rig was set up and transfer of cargo at sea accomplished. Precision anchoring was also worked on and GQ and abandon ship drills became an everyday occurrence. During the South American Survey quite a lot of cargo was handled. Fifteen tons of supplies were taken aboard in San Diego, stored in no. l hold, and off-loaded in Panama. These 77 crates and a Datsun Jeep were then further transported to Lima, Peru. As this survey came to an end, it was the general opinion of those on the fo'c's'le, that it had been a rather rewarding experience. During the survey many had learned new skills, some had learned to be better line handlers, while others had been trained to be sound boat coxswains. All had crossed the line and were now shell- backs. All Mm had seen what South America and its people were like. Thus it was a pretty satisfied crew that headed back to the States, looking forward either to getting out, going on leave, or spending the summer in Hawaii. lst row - Hendersen, La ngstraat.

As IQ a result, Tapia, and his striker, Taber, spent many hours - scrubbing and swabbing .50, .45, and .30 caliber bores. i, Second Division might be like any other deck division il E on any ship in the Navy--with its men either applying or w I 1 1 under their breath, for blowing tubes Csometimes not W under their breathb.
