FOX DIVISION The fire controlmen, like their mates in AS Division, are inseparable. One might even say they were thick as thieves. But they ' re not really thieves, and thick isn ' t quite right either. Maybe the word is tight No, tliat also has some shady connotations. Close ' Let ' s just say they ' re good friends. They function as a team whether trying to find the problem with a complicated computer, getting information into plot from combat and the directors and a final firing solution to the guns, or attempting to outdrink the sonarmen on the beach. During Gunfire Support, the FTs headquarters, main battery plot, was one of the vital nerve centers of the ship. Now, it looks like a Sansui Showroom! 51 ' s muzzle pointing at the bridge So what else is new ' : ' FTG2 Clanney greets the Captain at the quarter- deck FRONT ROW (LtoR): G. C. .A.D.

Cutloff, GMG3 ,- SECOND DIVISION Technical, temperamental, and unpredictable are the guns that 2nd Division cares for and operates. It is a ticklish but big job. The gunnersmate ' s task is clear — baby the guns, kiss ' em, oil ' em and squeeze ' em, but get those rounds out . . . and on target! .And they did just that but not without sacrifice. .Ask them how many casualties they had, or how many times they moved ammo from one magazine to another in order to complete a mission, or how much sleep they got in Rung Sat. GMGCS Epperson, GMGl Summers, GMG2 Lipscomb, or Ensign Weston w ill tell you. But they all kept their wits, spirits and humor, and the result was an impressive record of rounds fired and targets destroyed.
