HAIIIAHMEN These are the people who man the Combat lnfor- mation Center Combat known to most of the crew as a dark hole from which a man wearing a pair of soundpowered phones sends a variety of meaningless, mystifying bits of information to the bridgeg known to the ship's officers as the other end of a voice tube down which one yells when something goes wrongg known to the radarmen themselves as the home of their coffee mess and an excellent source of chairs or stools for the movie, which incidentally contains a few assorted maneuvering boards, plots, and radar scopes. Actually, these men are tacticians, voice radio communicators, and ra- dar operators. Combat is their center of opera- tions. 5' LA
