Combat Systems Department DS ET The Combat Systems Department demonstrated that there is not a more flexible team around. Starting with a comprehensive ASW exercise during the trans-Atlantic crossing, the sonar technicians and torpedomen dem- onstrated their tactical prowess. The ordnance division with fire control technicians and gunners mates were in the forefront during much of the North Red Sea tasking where they provided all the small arms and other equip- ment necessary to support the boarding teams while maintaining a continous AAW umbrella over the ship. More behind the scenes, the electronics division ' s elec- tronic technicians, data systems technicians and elec- tronics warfare technicians kept the ship communicating in every aspect. From satelhte telephones back to the States to hand held radios between the ship and the boats. They were also critical to maintaining the tactical picture in CIC. Beyond these traditional roles, each di- vision provided key members to the ship ' s boarding teams which took part in over 200 safe, efficient and successful boardings while enforcing t he embargo against kaq as an ongoing part of Operation: Desert Storm. w CM EW FC V ST e TM xN LT Starovasnik Combat Systems Officer
