FOURTH DIVISION Fourth Division, or as it is more commonly known, The Bos 'n Locker , is the smallest division in Deck Department. Their numbers are small, but their task is large. Bos 'n Locker is Supply Central for all of Deck Department. They maintain two paint mixing and is- sue rooms to support ship and Airwing preservation projects. They maintain the Captain 's Gig and oper- ate the ship 's Sail LOH. One of their most important jobs is the maintenance of General Emergency Equip- ment. This includes over 5,500 CO2 Inflatable Life Freservers and over 220 twenty-five man life rafts. Bos 'n Locker assists in the anchoring and mooring of the ship and provides personnel for important under- way watches on the bridge, such as the Helmsman. They also man the vital Underway Replenishment sta- tion that provides critical ship-to-ship communica- tions used by the Commanding Officer. An integral part of Deck Department, the men ofthe Bos 'n Locker are true sea-faring men in every sense of the word.
