VVhen a plane crashes on the flight deck, or a fire breaks out on the hangar deck, you will always find the repair parties on the job to try to localize the trouble and bring things under control.

1 ef! v i 1 ! s ! i r E Since the days when Punic seaman sailed clear of the sight of land on their voyages from Sidon to the coasts of Cornwall, man has used the stars to navigate by. This is still the case today- despite the claims of CIC. Under the leader- ship of CDR BOWMAN, the Navigation Depart- ment has guided us on our voyages across the Pacihc and around the reaches of the Sea of japan. Twenty-four hours a day the Quarter- masters are on the helm or busy taking star sights, regardless of whether they have just come aboard, or, like Chief Anderson, have been aboard since before the VALLEY was commissioned.
