Second Divison is the largest of the three deck divisions aboard the
Oklahoma City. The spaces assigned are located amidships and include some of the
most traveled passageways and most used and abused weather decks aboard ship.
Probably the most stringent demand is that of keeping all spaces in flagship order, which
helps to present the Oklahoma City properly for its ever-present protocol missions to
foreigh ports.
No less important is the handling and running of all deck gear in the division. The
life boat has to be constantly ready for a man overboard, or pilot rescue mission and
requires a team of trained personnel supplied by Second Division.
While at sea, the division mans the primary replenishment station where food, ammo,
frieght, and mail are brought aboard. Due to limited space and often stringent time
requirements, all personnel in Second Division are required to know and practice good
seamandship and safety precautions to ensure that underway replenishments are executed
properly and safely. The division's two cargo booms are used to launch five of the
ship and staff boats and to load stores.
