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.

He is seasoned and trained on deck into the sea- man who will eventually run the topping lift, coxswain the boat, or fire the guns, Second Division does its part in making this seaman. The green learn from the salty, and sometimes the process works in re- verse. The tough jobs, the long jobs, and sometimes the dirty jobs are all com- pleted with the experience gained in the first few months on deck. Second Division's boatswains and gunners trained their men alongside the piers at Pearl, and off the reefs at Kwaj. They were ready for the big jobs to come during the cruise. The working of the 30 and five ton booms in lowering and raising cargo and boats, the landing of helos, and the rigging of boat booms and accommodation ladders were all done with speed and efficiency. The chipping, the painting, the sweeping, the cleaning of weapons, and the long hours on watch were all taken in stride. The men of Second Division rate a solid well done for the contribution in service to the MAURY'S mission. R31 S . ' ' f-N... Ml 4 5? 5 f.
