F0 RTH DI 11 O Fourth Division is responsi- ble for all the weapons on the ship -- from the BMOW's 45 to TULARE's six 3 f50 mounts the men in Fourth Division perform a variety of tasks concerned mainly with fighting the ship. Eight targets were built and destroyed-Q and over 1000 rounds of 3 ammo and 150 hand grenades were expended during the cruise. Qlt would have been less ifComp- ton had not been attacked in Chu Laiy. , Sixty snakes, 300 cardboard cartons and 83 fish were des- troyed by our security guards while at anchor. But the trigger- happy men allowed no one to penetrate TULARE. I built it myself, with an erector set. 3 .-. ir.-,fn ,an if Z 7 2 3 1 l J I T Z il i 2 2 2 2 F VI!

b - xii to DII IO Known as the auxilaries division, A Division is responsible for the repair and maintenance of all equipment in engineering that is not electrical or concerned with main propulsion. This covers such equip- ment as refrigeration and air conditioning, laundry and galley equipment, landing craft ramps, Winches and engines, all deck ma- chinery and rigging, and the anchor windless and steering engine. During the cruise, A Division in- stalled 38 air-conditioners using 4000 feet of tubing and piping. This project required more than 1000 man hours. In addition, the boat shop overhauled and replaced four Grey Marine engines in TULARE's assault landing craft. The continuous operation of TULARE's equipment is a tribute to their versatility. 1 .
