I Ax e- N Bos'n Locker Located one deck below the forecastle, the Bos'n Locker is the seamanship and deck supply center of the Deck Department. Manned by a select group of Boatswain's Mates, the Bos'n Locker is responsible for the preservation of the ship's hull, provides a spray team for the painting of interior spaces and operates two paint lockers for the issue of the various paints and primers required on RANGER. In addition, Bos'n Locker personnel perform all of the checks and maintenance of the ship's life rafts and CO2 inflatable lifejackets. This same group serves as RANGER's sail locker team which makes such varied articles as brow skirts, ceremonial bunting and even rack curtains. Under the guidance of the First Lieutenant and the Ship's Bos'n, RANGER's seamanship experts, the men of Deck Department can be found from the focs'le to the fantail and a good many places in between. If it has to do with anchoring, mooring, steering, painting or replenishing RANGER, the versatile and hard-working men of Deck Department are no doublt involved. ata QQQQQB O ik Q a s 6565, ale ei' 67
