3rd. Division 1984 - 1985
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE
"Do you suppose this big hook would really
work for Deep Sea Fishing, or was the Boats
just putin' us on?"
Third Division mans "Big Bertha", the ship's Boat
and Aircraft crane. They bring aboard a variety of
items like commissary supplies, and liberty and
work boats, and during this cruise, they even
fished out a downed helicopter. Refueling at sea
is another of their specialties, as they handle all
JP-5 fuel rigs. They are the voice of the 1MC as
they stand the Bos'n mate of the watch on the
Bridge, along with the other deck divisions.
Third Division also takes great pride in maintenance
of a major portion of INDY's Interstate 62
the ship's second deck passageways.

During my last few months on board, I was on Port Quarter Watch
when 3 men were washed overboard. One man was never found and
I was the last person to ever see him.
Would like to find out more about this incident and the 3 men's names.
We were in rough seas and all weather decks and sponsons were off
limits. However numerous men were
on one of the garbage
sponsons when a wave hit and washed them overboard. I called in
the man overboard to the bridge and threw out the flares and life ring.
