A carrier without an Air Wing is just another cruise-ship with the world's largest promenade deck . An Air Wing without ordnance is just another ocean- going flying club . . . They don't really think of either a carrier or an Air Wing in those terms, but the Weapons Department team can make a significant difference in how well the ship does its job . . . and the Weapons Department personnel have made a ma- jority of the difference. There are several different aspects to the jobs of the Weapons Department personnel, including initiating hook- ups with other ships for underway replenishments, ensur- ing the physical security of the ship, providing anti-aircraft defense of the ship, and providing Honors and Ceremonies for visiting dignitaries. The Department's most important function, however,is to provide full support to the nine embarked squadrons of Carrier Air Wing EIGHT with all the bombs, bullets and missiles they need to complete their assigned missions. Their goal is never a lost mission due to a lack of weap- ons , and they met that goal during the 82-83 Mediterra- 74 nean Cruise. lfulfilling their goal frequently required me- ticulous planning and dedicated efforts by many personnel because it was a much more complex job than met the eye. Weapons Department is responsible for ordering the right amounts of the right kinds of ammunition, for getting it safely aboard and stored in the magazines, for later uncrating it and assembling it in various configurations with a variety of fuses and tail-fins, and for transferring it up to the flight deck for issue to the Air Wing . . . on time. The Weapons underway replenishmentloff-load in May was an outstanding success. lt took a tremendous amount of prior planning, precise coordination, and many IOUQ hours of work for the majority of the Weapons Department personnel. Careful assembly work, a lot of determined and careful transporting, safe thinking and most importantly the caution all personnel displayed during the transporting of the sensitive weapons ensured a highly successful and a hazard free event. The men of Weapons Department had a great cruise. They accomplished a great deal of successful ordnance movement that they can be proud of for quite a long time.
