Another phase of the Landing Force is the Boat Repair Gang consisting of motor machin- ists, electricians and carpenters. The ne- cessity to keep the boats running and hulls in shape makes this group extremely Vital. The gunnery is handled by two gunner's mates. UL Division is a complete unit within itself. Its organization is designed to allow the division to operate with full effective- L DIVISION, SECTION 3 ness in the event it is separated from the Ship. r Aboard ship, the division is an integral part of shipboard organization, partici- pating in all drills, standing watches at sea and in port, cleaning and maintaining the ship, and contributing handsomely to all working parties. The Division trans- ports liberty parties, and as a result of the inaccessibility of proper transportation and lack of dock facilities in the various ports, it hauls a major portion of the provisions, supplies and equipment to run the ship. The functions of the division allow the men great freedom of action and the op- portunity to assume responsibility and display initiative. Nowhere is this more apparent than when performing its major task, the transporting of troops and equip- ment from ship to shore during an am- phibious operation. Front Row: left to right: Lt.

Supply Depu rfmenf The Supply Department is primarily a service organization with the result that the entire SU Division depends largely upon the cooperation of all other depart- ments, especially in anticipation of future requirements. The US Division is made up of per- sonnel in many ratings such as cooks, steward mates, storekeepers and special- ists whose duties entail the smooth oper- ation and running of various activities and services designated to their depart- ment. Starting with chow, the most important item, and continuing right on down the list-the little luxuries and necessities The Lady Comes Home found in the ship's service store, pressing and minor alterations at the tailor shop, haircuts by the barber, clean clothes from the laundry, shoe repairs by the cobbler, new clothing from small stores, general supplies of all kinds, from a pencil to spe- cial heavy clothing, from GSK-all are a few of the services rendered by this de- partment. Then, there is the small item of collecting onels pay twice a month, on which days the disbursing officer takes over the limelight. The task of keeping the wardroom and Hofficers country spickand span, in addition to serving three squares a day to the captain and his officers, also falls to the personnel at- tached to this division. Along with all these special jobs, all hands have their military duties to per- form. During General Quarters the mem- bers of SH Division function as gun crews, lookouts, talkers, damage control parties, stretcher bearers, or heave around back in the galley making surenthat the chow is coming up as fast as the ammuni- tion. SECRET WEAPON The One Man fortification pictured in daring outline form can best be described as a secret weapon. Lest radar and the atomic bomb should fail, this aggressive molecule was kept in priority reserve as our answer to the japanese kami-kaze. A hope of the future, this dynamo presents the last word in modern design. -. - ' 'K
