THIRD DIVI IO Maury's Third Division is the boat Division. We man and and maintain two 523, 32 ton twin engined sound boats, two LCVP's two LCPL's, one being used as the gig, and four wherries. We have had both sound boats and three wherries deployed continuously on this survey. Uses of the other boats included: LCPL 5 was fittedcniton board as a soundboat and used successfully in Malaga Bay. LCVP 3 made a two day supply run to Iwymst Red and Green stations and repaired Onan generators there, resupplied Lorac Station Center with a wherry shuttling through the 5' surf. LCVP 2 deployed twice to Buenaventura, 5 days to support beach camps and 12 days with fuel for Serrano's sound boat. Our boats have made ship to ship transfers, carried guests and liberty parties, landed jeeps, tents, 500 lb. Onan generators, and tons of supplies under a variety of waves, winds, and weather conditions. In addition to boat work, Third division has maintained the midships section of MAURY, adding much fancy work to the captain's verandah. We have been the award division at captain's inspections. We have been prepared at every flight quarters to lower the crash boat and render aid. Truly, many of MAURY's paths were blazed by the salty and often soaking wet Boatswainmates,Coxswains, and Seamen of Third Division. 1 t rr - ,,WW-wl ..,... ..,.. 22d row Chrlstensen Caponegro, Sorensen, Hoyt, Davis, Prentice, Johnson, Brophy 3rd row gallog Shavers Matsuoka, Shook, Dunaway, Garrett, Sabine, Aguirre ro w auer ier Plooster Ferguson, Baker, Bonham, Storlie, Kinney, Buma,

TUDOR Division Officer Boilertenders of Maury's B Division have completed a atrouble free season with only fireside cleaning and other routine maintenance challenging their many and varied skills. These range from pump repair to boiler water testing and treatment. This outstanding performance comes from the knowledge and training that a division with SOZ rated men can attain and pass on to new non-rated men. It is to the credit of 23 men with 99 years experience in the opera- tion of marine boilers and their associated equipment that we have had all bells answered . Maury has thus been able to carry out her survey operations in the 1964-65 season smartlyzuuiwithout delay due to B Division's efforts. B In addition to carryingcnitspecific engineering duties, B Division fielded a baseball team that challenged all comers during the four month Colombian Survey, and contributed 1007, to the American Red Cross Drive. The men of B Division are pleased that they have been able to provide the steam which enabled Maury's surveys to be completed in her traditionally well done manner in every corner of the Pacific. i T i . i l 1st row - Hatcher, Brown, Brown, Lanners, White,Culhane, Rhoades, Rutherford 2nd row - Lieber, Becker, johnson, Ayers, Mattson, 3rd row - Racioppi, Jacobs, Hernan, Neely, Swierz.
