Combat Systems department puts combatants on the cutting edge of presence and defense of the United States. Combat Information Center emplovs a wide range of elec- tronic equipment to defend and fight the ship through deterrance and the delivery of ordnance. CIC is also the nerve center of BOONE and has a five fold func- tion; To collect, process, display, e ' aluate, and disseminate infor- mation in support of the ships mission. CS department is com- prised of the following rates, ET, FC, GM, STG, TM and DS. Electronic Technicians support the command bv repairing, cali- brating, tuning and maintaining navigation and search radars, and communications equipment. Fire Controlman utilize and maintain localization and target- ing radars used for the deli ' erv of MK 92 and CIWS assets. Gun- ner ' s Mates operate and maintain all gunnery equipment, guided missile and gun mounts. They are experts in ordnance hanciling, inspection and stowage proce- dures. Sonar Technicians are responsible for the underwater search, sur ' eillance and attack operations against subsurface contacts. They operate and repair sonars, underwater fire control and radio telephones as well as torpedo counter measures. Tor- pedomen maintain torpedo ord- nance that are launched from sur- face or air assets, and maintain the torpedo delivery systems. Data Systems Technicians main- tain the combat system data dis- play consoles, program comput- ers, communication panels and ADP equipment throughout the command. Throughout the deployment, the Combat Systems Department has participated in eight 76mm and 20mm CIWS gun exercises, numerous Detect to Engage and Harpoon scenarios and three major Anti-Submarine Warfare exercise. LCDR Mervin Dial, Combat Systems Officer § wwJftK m LJsaL CS-2 DIV CS-2 division is responsible for the routine maintenance and casualty repairs on the under- water sensors, weapons systems and associated display equipment which includes the SQS-56 SONAR, SQR-19 Towed array, SQQ-28 and Nixie decoy system.

OPERATIONS Understanding the com- plexities (if todii ' s unique environment with the advent of modern technology, it becomes necessar ' to ha ' e specially skilled sailors who can collect and e ' aluate infor- mation. The Operations Department is comprised of those specialists who make detailed analysis of intricate and sometimes confusing data, correlate the informa- tion, and then recommend a course of action. The department is manned from the following ra tes; OS, EW, RM, and BM. Equally important are the routine day to day operations onboard ship such as watch standing, lookouts, preservation and replenishment. Operation Specialist are tasked with coalating data, and disseminating it to the appropriate command per- sonnel. They pro ide RADAR sur ' eillance and monitor all communications to respond appropriatelv to an ' gi -en sit- uation. Radiomen operate the intricate communication transmitter receivers and col- lect and process all message traffic. The Electronic Warfare Specialist monitor the vast electronic spectrum and pro- vide early detection of poten- tial threats from over the hori- zon. Boatswain ' s Mates preserve the majority of the ship, its associated deck gear, anchor, flight deck and small boat. During the deployment, the Operations Department enabled the BOONE to con- duct 714 queries as Watch- man 28 in support of NATO in the southern Adriatic Sea. They also provide a ready deck for numerous air opera- tions. V LT THOMAS HALVORSEN, OPER-X- TIONS OFFICER ' lb O-l DIV O- 1 di ision is responsible For the rou- tine operation oi the Radio Shack . They operate all the technologically ad ' anced communications equipment. This requires constant manipulation of the radio transmitters and receivers to pro ' ide vm-interrupted service to the ship. This includes satellite communica- tion, HF, UHF, VHP and other frequency bands. Most all received and transmitted mes- sage traffic is processed and disseminat- ed through the ships LAN system. Some message traffic requires safeguards due to its classification and radio is responsi- ble for maintaining those security mea- sures. They also maintain inventory on all the ship ' s cryptographic material.

Below: LT lerrv Hodge, Former Chief F.ngineer ENGINEERING It takes many different men to keep a mighty warship afloat. These sailors, along with their specialized training and skills are what gets BOONE to the fight. The Engineering Depart- ment performs much of their work out of sight, hidden well beneath the most traveled passageways of the ship. All of the ships primary life sup- port, it ' s electrical power, water, propulsion, dry air, heat anci air conditioning are the results of labored routines. The main propulsion is pro- ided b - two gas turbine engines that is connected to a single variable pitch pro- peller. There are two auxiliary propulsion units that provide additional maneuverability and four ships ser ' ice diesel generators that provide elec- trical power to the ship. Engineering is manned by GSE, GSM, EN, EM, IC, HT, MR and DC personnel. Aside from pro ' iding primary and auxiliar ' support. Engineer- ing also provides repair ser- ' ices, damage control and fire fighting training. The respon- sibilities are immense, and have an exacting toll on the department. Many long hours, under extreme condi- tions, are spent down in the hole pro ' iding for the com- fort of the crew. If your not an engineer , you ' re just along for the ride! ■ f V .

The pri- mary function of this depart- ment is administrati e sup- port. The Personnelmen and Yeo- man operate the ship ' s office and handle the daily adminis- trati e duties. They maintain the service records, handle routine anci not so routine correspondence and process all the evaluations on the ship just to mention a few of their responsibilities. The Signalmen and Quar- termasters are responsible for the safe navigation of the ship.

The Hospital Corpsman is an Independent Duty Corps- 38 man and is responsible for administering to the crew member for routine sick call and to provide immediate first aid in serious illness and injury. They are capable of performing light surgical ciuties and of course the are the Shot people . Where would a ship be without the mail. The Postal Clerk takes care of the com- mands many postal needs. He processes all the incoming and outgoing parcel post, and letter mail. A tall order for one man. Last but not least is the Sheriff . The Master at Arms is responsible for maintaining good order and discipline throughout the command. Not always the most popular guv, but certainly the most needed.
