G. Skinner are continuely painting and polish- ing their spaces and keeping all flags clean and ready to be hoisted in a minute's notice, if needed.

Mail call! There is a rush to the ship's Post Office. Eager sailors wait while the mail petty officer draws the division's mail. Then everything stops, and all thoughts turn toward home. CR Division is responsible for those two most welcome words. However, CR Division not only handles the mail but all of BREMERTON's radio communications. The radio gang, made up of telemen and radiomen, keeps the ship in constant contact with our forces and those of our allies. They tune transmitters and receive, break down, write up, and deliver messages. LCDR R. L. Bruce is the Communications Officer and LTJG L. E. Taylor, the Radio Officer. ENS R. A. Judd is CR Division Officer. ENS J. J. Brennen, the ship's custodian of registered pubications is attached to CR Division. ens l- h- means, ens r. a. iudd, 'mnsfefed cr division officer

They also maintain and repair the electronic test equipment required for maintenance of this equipment. Their equipment is scattered throughout the ship. That's why you may see an ET anywhere from the top of a mast, swinging by a safety belt, to the air-conditioned comfort of CIC in the heart of the ship. They are on call 24 hours a day and missing chow, sleep or a movie is all in a days work. The effectiveness of the ship's communications, navigation and radar protection depend heavily on this small but vital division. electronics materials officer
