This E B ' division is responsible for maintain- ' ing all the spaces where Marines KT fx- K H 9 store their vehicles and supplies. f'4'X-X 'g They also take care of the immense Well Deck area. These two areas combined equal almost one-half mil- lion square feet of stowage space. Additionally, Second Division shares the responsibility of tending the aft mooring lines during docking. For all underway replenishments, Second Division mans RAS 5, which is where the ship receives stores and person- nel. When the ship refuels, Second Division takes charge and sets up appropriate rigs to receive aircraft and diesel fuel. Although PELELIU does not use sails, it still has a Sail Loft where deck personnel can be found stitching together covers for equipment ammings, shades, and skirts for handrails from canvas or herculite material. Second Division also main- tains the accommodation ladders and both side ports. During operations at sea, PELELIU often loads and unloads equipment from landing craft QLCU 8: LCACJ boats. The ship is able to load and unload the LCU boats without bringing the craft into the well deck. This tricky maneuver is called a ustem gate marriage , one of many diflicult evolutions that the highly skilled men of Second Division do so well. BM2 DA.
