To those who have
Sent their names and additional information that I have not

GM Division 1976 - 1977
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE

"We shot a missle into the air . . . " or
"Will this thing fly alright with only three fins?"

Air to Air, Air to Ground, Sparrow, Walleye, Shrike, are all
missiles in a GM Division Ordnance handler's bag. And with
a great deal of careful planning and cooperation, he sees them
delivered to the flight deck for loading. In addition to their
handling and delivery chores, they assemble, test and maintain
highly sphisticated air launch weapons. GM Division, formerly
G-2 Division, is also a proud part owner of the Weapons "W"

Met the ship in good old Naples in the
middle of a cruise and got a cruise cut
off a whole 4 days in 79 when I got out.
We were the ones that always were
building bombs on Mess 5.
