Young BMI Second Division Officer THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF SAILORS ON THE RANKIN: THOSE WHO AREIN SECOND DIVISION AND THOSE WHO WISH THEY WEREIN SECOND DIVISION. Deck Department's Sec- ond Division works the booms and hatches in the after part of the ship. Their responsibil- ities also include the boat booms for tying up the ship's boats and the two capstans on the fantail. Morris Thompson BM3 Through hard and patient work the men of Second Division have become an efficient and experienced team, working together on any of their varied tasks, whether it be unloading cargo or refueling at sea. During this deployment Second Division's hatch crews took part in the setting of a record time for LKA s achieved by the RANKIN for lowering all boats into the water. During General Quarters the Division mans the ship's five inch dual purpose gun, RANKIN'S main gun bat- tery. Under the able control of the Second Division Leading Petty Officer, Boatswain's Mate First Class Billy R. Young, who serves as the Mount Captain, the crew of Mount SI has won the Battle Efficiency E Award for their deadly accur- WMI acy. Second Division typifies the RANKIN spirit of Ready Now by their skills and pre- paredness for their many du- ties.
