One of the smaller departments on the ship. Operations is tasked with the overall coordina- tion of all the ship ' s resources to maximize BARBEY ' s position as an effective weapons platform and delivery system. The many and varied sensors employed on BARBEY are the eyes, ears and voice that are controlled around the clock from Combat Information Center, the tactical decision making center of the ship. The department ' s performance has earned BARBEY the green Operations ' E ' . Whether the mission involves an air, sur- face, or subsurface threat, the job of collecting, displaying and disseminating this information in order to fight the ship is the task of the Operations Specialists of 01 Division. The OS ' s stand watches in CIC and during exercises may stand Junior Officer of the Deck and Tactical Communicator on the bridge. Through the Radiomen and Signalmen of OC Division, hardcopy, voice and visual com- munications utilized in the decision making process are handled from the watchstations in Radio Central and the Signal Bridge. The Electronic Warfare Technicians of OE Division with their sophisticated science fiction gadgetry are concerned with detecting, analyz- ing and evaluating electromagnetic emissions for providing vital early detection and characteristics information to the evaluator. The Electronics Technicians are repairmen on call around the clock in order to keep the radars and communications equipment in peak operating condition. They wade through mazes of multi- colored wires and components of the air and sur- face search radars and repeaters, electronic navigational equipment systems, Tacan, IFF, and communications equipment and are an in- tegral link in the overall effectiveness of the en- tire Operations Department.
