Responsible for the mainten- ance and upkeep of the twenty four boats on board, they attack their jobs with such enthusiasm that the morale of the whole ship benefits from them. Their work pace during the entire WesPac Cruise set a pace to be followed by the rest of the ship. During the long sixty seven days at sea they remained undauted by the physical hardships and the boiler-like conditions of their liv- ing spaces-always ready to land the landing force, should the need have ever arisen. During the few days the ship did spend in port, the Division again went all out with a spirit unsurpassed by others on the ship. In Yoko- SU-liil, Japan, two of our members managed to be brought back by the Shore Patrol every night of liberty but one, and each excuse was al- Ways better than the last.. Generally speaking the conduct ashore was practically flawless.
