Ji,, DECK DEPART ENT The domain of Third Division extends from Frame 75 to the Fantail both 9954 d 1 7 HU 9555 holds, numerous lower deck storage spaces, and the sides from the gunwale to the water line. The Boom Busters primary job is handling the boats that rest on 54441 and 9945 hatches These B t ' - oa swam mates have many other jobs that keep them busy, Such as the constant chore of keeping theirlarea cleaned, chipped and painted which seems an almost impossible job. Men from this division stand watche B ' s as oatswaln mate of the watch, messenger and Dock sentry in port. At sea, they become the Boatswain mate, messenger, helmsman, lookouts, phone talkers and man after steering. But their prime mission is boat handling which takes lonff hours and h D muc practice to he done effectively and properly, but these men have demonstrated time and again that they have acquired that skill.

On the morning of 2 January she sailed past Waikiki and Honolulu and into Pearl Harbor, which lay quiet and serene. One day at that dark, lush, volcanic island of Oahu, and she went on to encounter 3,000 miles of the Pacific. Hawaiian Huts um, Q Hawaii's Beautiful Beaches
