Mr. Sheahan and Gamble GM3 poses for our cameraman at ships party, Yokosuka. Mr. Sheahan was second division officer during our Westpac Cruise. A combination of new and old rates, seconds divi- sion operates and maintains armament. The gunners mate rating no longer has a simple task of loading, aiming and firing the guns, but has evolved into a specialty that requires great accuracy and as a result has been supplemented hy the fire control technician. During the Yankee Team Operations, the gunner mates kept their mounts in a high state of readiness in anticipation of a call for assistance from our forces on shore. Working directly with the gunners mates, the FT's provide pertinent information regarding a targets loca- tion and speed and keep a constant track of it, so that every shot of the guns will he as accurate and effective as is possible. Through the use of a special type of radar and computer system greater efficiency can be attained in our gun fire assignments. Although the ship never fired a shot in anger , the men of this division were constantly prepared to fire with swift calculation and high accuracy. Chief Chaney and Rodriguez, GMGI, stand in front of the 5 f38.
