OE DIVISION This OE Division, composed of Radar men and Electronic Technicians. The Radarmen are concerned with the safe navigation of the ship when near land and the plotting of other ships to calculate how close they'll come to our ship, They also handle the all-important job of keep- ing in touch with the soundboats when they are surveying. The ET 's are a most important group of men. They are tasked with servicing all of the shipboard electronic equipment which consists mainly of communications gear and radar components. Also, since the systems of surveying are primarily electronic in nature, the job of maintain- ing the survey equipment in a high state of performance is theirs. This function is vital to the mission of the MAURY. Al- though the ET 's are pretty good at trouble- shooting, estimating the time of repair on a piece of gear is difficult because of the many variable incremators in the circuits. When WO Olander, our Electronics Materiel Officer, passed the Soundboat Test he became MAURY'S first Warrant boat officer. -o - A -sv 5 l . I A1 3' Q M W M.,--1'- ' How am I going to get out there?

Q' X' L f A XWLLL FIR T DIVI I0 It is the men of the First Division to whom we look for providing us with the means to anchor and moor MAURY wher- ever and whenever our orders take us. Our three mooring lines and two anchors can help secure us for survey needs and other shipboard requirements. Our thirty-ton boom can hoist each of the two soundboats carried in the forward skids into the water with ease. Gff-loading and back- loading the vehicles and equipment used to aid our survey operations ashore, which are stored in the itil hold, is also part of First Division's contribution to MAURY'S mission. Not to be overlooked are the Bos'n Locker and Paint Locker - each one a storeroom for the various supplies and materials needed to carry out normal shipboard maintenance, Men of the First Division are also responsible for the cleaning and preserva- tion of decks forward of the superstructure, the sides in that area, and the numerals of our hull number. First Division's job is a large and important one in support of our survey mission as can be plainly seen. it qw? w Q 'mf yan., Refueling Ops.
