Headed by the Air Gunner , the division is tasked with many operational commitments from pro- viding 'yellow gear l weapons handling equip- mentl to ensuring ordnance safety on the flight deck. One workshop is the Hangar Deck 0rd- nance Shop which is in direct support of A WSEF lArmamentf Weapons Support Equipment Pro- gram J. Men assigned perform daily mainten- ance such as repair, acyustment, corrosion con- trol, replacement, etc. of components on 'yel- low gear lskidsl. This entails modihfing a skid to carry such items as bombs, rockets, or mis- siles. A Quality AssurancefTechnical Publica- tion Libiarian and Data Analyst are available to provide assistance. The other workshop is the Flight Deck Ord- nance Shop. Personnel assigned are to ensure that all ordnance and equipment on the flight deck are properly maintained. Th ey are respon- sible for the safe handling, receiving, stowing, and issuing of all ordnance on the flight deck. They also assist air wing ordnancemen in set- ting a perimeter around an aircraft so that ord- nance can be ldelarmed without any hazard to personnel or equipment. Ordnance not issued to a squadron is stowed in the bomb farm, behind the ship 's island lsuperstructurel, where it can be easily jettisoned in the event of a fire. A05 Lupton, B. A05 Moseley, R.
