GM Division is the division which is responsible for the missile house and
Talos missiles within it. The varied tasks performed by the division require two
ratings, FTMs and GMMs. The FTMs are responsible for the complex electrical and
hydraulic systems within the missile. It is their hard work which ensures that all
the missiles on board are ready to fly at a monent's notice to protect the ship from air
or surface attack.
The GMMs maintain the powerful hydraulic and pneumatic equipment used to move the missiles
from place to place and ultimately to the launcher, pointed in the right direction for
firing.
