OPERATIONS

HANGER

Marlinespikes, chains, pipes, line and paint... there is no getting away from upkeep, mooring, fueling, replenishment, ground tackle, grinding, chipping and painting. Before any ship can pull into port, restock, take on fuel or look good from bow to stern, Deck Department becomes involved in a big way. They may not get the limelight the pilots do, but Deck Department is the unsung hero of any ship. From the First Lieutenant, to the newest deck hand, Deck Department is the watchful eye that looks out at all times, the skilled helmsmen that steers his crew through the stars, and the voice that informs and alerts the crew of any and all of the events during the days.
