My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.
This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.
I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.
Thank You All
For Your Support

U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CVA-62
Weapons Department
". . . . no one knows what
goes on behind closed doors."
Some men you never see; but if you do, they won't
talk about their job! The men of W Division have a
very special mission. . . that of special weapons.
Behind closed, locked and guarded doors they carry
out their mission; one that is vital (so we are told) to
the successful operation of the ship. With all that
secrecy, who are we to argue?

Indy was my first ship. I reported
onboard as a GMTSA. Eleven years
after I left her, I returned to be
W division LCPO. She turned out to
be my last ship. I see her every-
day on my way to work in Bremmerton. |
