Deek Department Aboard the Mighty T the men of the Deck Department play a vital part in enabling TOLOVANA to carry out her mission as a Fleet Oiler. The men of deck are the Tigers seen on deck handling lines when the ship is mooring, or getting underway, operating winches and rigging highlines for long hours at a time during replenishment operations. On days when there are no replenish- ments, or when the ship is in port, these are the men who keep TOLOVANA looking sharp by many long, tedious, hours of cleaning, painting, and scrubbing throughout the ship. They keep the refueling rigs in good working order, the ship's boats seaworthy and well equipped, and aside from all this, the men in the Deck Department are responsible for the care and mainte- nance of the ship's general tools, her paint stores, the ship's running and standing rigging, and other large and small iobs that are too numerous to mention. These men also stand underway and in port watches on the bridge and quarterdeck as lookouts, helmsmen, and Petty Officers of the watch. The men of Third Division are responsible for TOLOVANA's weapons, including her four 3 gun mounts, rifles, pistols, and other small arms. The men of this division play an initial part in the ship's replenishment detail by getting the first lines across to a ship alongside through the use of shot line throwing guns, For all of these men, the long, hard and dreary hours spent in the work they do pay off in the satisfaction of knowing that their ship is always sharp looking and always ready for another replenishment.
