Tyson and Snyder, while developing the Quartermasters into an unbeatable navigation team, still man- aged to maintain the bridge and pilot house as the best in the Atlantic Fleet. Burns and his Signal gang had little trouble in establishing themselves as the best in the Sixth Fleet while Interior Decorator Newby has broken all records in dressing ship and forecastle.
