Operations The changing tempo of operations between hectic days of Carrier Group Ops and the calm of transit alone was perhaps best felt by the Operations Department. Radio was the one constant of the deployment. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, from before the 10th of November, the BARRY Radio Gang was on watch. During this time BARRY sent out over 3500 messages. The constant background noise of the teletypes never ceased as over 40,000 incoming messages were received. Of particular note were the superb jobs done by RM3 Paul CASPER and RM3 Ronald BANTUM, the teletype repairmen. BARRY operated five months without a significant teletype casually. Be it satellite communications or maintaining a high frequency link with stations as diverse as Guam and Diego Garcia, BARRY Radiomen did it better than anyone else. The radio effort was led by RM1 Harvey SPICER, assisted by RM1 Jim FARRELL and RM1 Gerry WEISS. Special thanks to RM3 Toney CANNIZZARO who handled all outgoing telegrams to our loved ones. ' The Visual Signalling Gang was led by SM1 Henry RIVERS. This group was singled out for praise as the fastest responding signal bridge in the I.O. Battle Group by Rear Admiral Martin, Commander Carrier Group FOUR. SM2 OUICKWELL, SM3 CLANCY, SN ROBINSON and SN BLAISDELL round out BARRY's team of flag, light and semaphore communicators. The Iron men of BARRY's deployment were EW2 Howard SPADER and EW3 Brian HANEHAN who stood port and starboard watches for two and one half months of high intensity operations. BARRY's Electronic Warfare Specialists proved over and over again that they were unsurpassed in signal annalysis. EW2 Chuck MAJOR rounded out the EW Team serving as BARRY's Enlisted Intelligence Assistant and as the operator of BARRY's independent fsmalli TVF station WBRY. BARRY's Electronic Technicians, led by ETC Alan FRID for the first half of the cruise and ET1 Allen MILLS for the second half, kept both the communications equipment and the radars operating throughout the deploy- ment. ET3 Thomas BATTY and ET3 Thomas PACILEO were the keymen in keeping the communications gear on line and ET2 Wayne SUCKOW was the acknowledged radar wizard of BARRY's ET shop. Also leading. the way in watchstanding were the Operations Specialists under OSC Armando RODRIGUEZ. From nights with one contact to hours' with thirty or more the CIC Team kept the bridge informed, talked on radios and checked schedules. Of particular note was the performance of OS3 John ATHERTON on the Naval Gunfire Support Team during Operation Bright Star and OS1 Dave Hegarty who for more than half the cruise ,tg1iSrr!yyHeIo Controller on board.
