Tartar Division The task of maintaining the TARTAR Weapons system involves a number of very complicated and inter-related skills necessary to keep the system in a high state of battle readiness. Target information is initially detected in the Combat Information Center lClCl and sent to the Weapons Control Station for further processing and evaluation. Here targets are assigned to the gun or missile fire control systems. The missile loading and firing is also controlled from here. As can be seen, each area has to work in complete harmony with the other or the system can never function as a whole. Besides the many intricate adjustements required for the individual equipments, much critical interconnecting alignment is involved. TARTAR Division alone utilizes approximately 90 separate pieces of test equipment to attain its maximum operating effectiveness. The men of TARTAR Division have once more displayed their many talents and capabilities as Handlers this cruise. From their own work to the manning of the after refueling station, to supplying many key personnel to assist in the manning of gun plot and the gun mounts during our gun fire support missions, to standing bridge, ASROC, after steering and sonar vvatches, TARTAR was there. Several times this cruise missile shoots involving long hours of preparation were scheduled and cancelled, but TARTAR finally got to do their thing on 4 September, scoring a direct hit on a target drone. A fitting end to a long cruise. FIRE CONTROL OFFICER MISSILE OFFICER LT DAISLEY LTJG koPiNiTz W Y - f -' fmt' ' z ,,,A,,,,., ,
