On Ranger, CM Division handles, as well as assembles, the air-to-air and air-to- ground missiles used by the embarked air winv. The division's 49 men are responsible for all of thi: ship's air-launched guided missiles. GM technicians customize a sparrow. if If X s pi 1- I I . Eng -fr' er , s , 1 .

And now for the srcret ingredient 1 to r ,I W Gaither Panko L S Crownover C R Golemblowskx and D T W-DIVISION An discussion ofW Division is necessarily short, because few people know Y what they do. However, they do something, we think, because they attend lon eriods of school 5 P - Maintenance and inspection of equipement and facilities is frequent and exacting due to the high standards required. W Division 1S its own repair party, requiring frequent training in firefighting and damage control within assi ned s aces S P - In addition to their primary mission, W Division handles many tons of conventional aviation ordnance in support of strike missions. To accom- plish this the men of W-Division join the ranks of all others on Ranger and work around the clock in support of the' air wing. People use to ask what they do but don't ask any more just look at a loaded A6A and you will know. fLeft to rightj Front row-CMTC RJ. Dougan, GMSN J.W. Gaither, GMTSN C.A. Mclsaac, SN A.C.
