The hangar bay crew is tasked with the safe and efficient transfer of bombs, missiles and ordnance accessories. Their responsibilities span from the time when the ord- nance reaches the hangar bay until it is received by the flight deck crew, or returned to G-2 and the magazines. To successfully carry out this task, the hangar deck crew must maintain twenty nine electric forklifts and several hundred weapons skids. Periodically, the hangar deck crew is tasked with sup- port of major underway replenishment operations. They operate forklifts which transport the many types of supply materials and weapons which the ship receives. Also, in support of the Air Wing's air-to-air missile readiness, G-1 operates and maintains a nitrogen purifying unit. The flight deck crew is responsible for the safe move- ment, issue and receipt of ordnance items. They also re- main constantly aware of which aircraft are loaded and the quantity and types of ordnance they are carrying. Flight deck ordnance safety and coordination are closely monitored by the watchful eyes of the flight deck Ord- nancemen, and by the, if you will , Air Gunner. CWO3 E. Scott AOC R. Kimbrell AOC R.J.
