November Division . . . . .
dependent on their superb
skill is the success of every
mission of this mighty warship
The November Division has a most important function----to get the ship to its destination and know our position every minute of the way. These men assit the ship's Navigator in his complex job. The quartermasters keep hours all through the night and have the vital task of writing the Quartermaster's Notebook, from which the Officer of the Deck writes the ship's log.
November men use literally hundreds of current charts and nautical publications in fixing the ship's position. These must be kept up-to-date at all times, since new facts about each area are always being discovered.
HELENA's "men on the bridge" solve daily the many problems posed by the sea, assuring us a safe passage, no matter where we go.
