First Division is probably the ship's
most knowledgable in overall ship's operation. While at sea, the
division has men on the bridge as helmsmen, lee helmsmen and messengers.
The division is responsible for the upkeep of the forward third of the
ship - a never-ending battle against the elements.
First Division's other jobs include the upkeep and manning of the
Captain's gig and also performance of important roles in air and sea
rescue.
First Division plays a large role in the ship's offensive and defensive
capability. The division supplies mem for the six-inch turret
and five-inch mount for Condition II shore bompardment, anti-aircraft
watch and General Quarters.
After firing missions end, themen of First Division prepare for rearming
and refueling. |
