The 5 54 and 3 5O requires much skill, knowledge and hard work to repair and preserve. The reward for the Gunner is to hear the thunderous explosion, symbolic of his efforts in maintaining his guns in perfect material readiness. lf the case occurs the Gunner's Mate and his gun must be ready to protect their country, their ship, and them- selves.

tl ' ,QQQQ , sf I 29- 'QQ The deck force is weighed with the responsi- bility of maintaining, rigging, manning, and supervising the replenishment station that en- ables ships of today's naval force to extend the scope and endurance of their operations, in exercise or in combat. The men in the FIRST Division in MORTON take pride in knowing from various messages received, that our ability to provide and receive transfer rigs is of the finest quality encountered in the Pacific Fleet. Evolutions ranged from the almost routine highline personnel transfer to the ticklish am- munition replenishment. Fuel replenishments went swiftly and smoothly and only once dur- ing stores transfer were five cases of Coca- Cola lost. Safety is paramount on boaTd, and every man is instructed in precautions in case of emergency break-away lthe instantaneous severing of connection between the sending and receiving shipl and the everpresent changes inherent inithe nature of transfer at sea. FIRST Division is ever ready to keep the ship supplied through underway replenishment and thus maintain the strength of this link in the chain that is the U. S. Navy.
