The eyes and ears of the ship, CIC personnel track contacts, plot courses and intercepts, calculate target ranges and bearings, engage enemy con- tacts and monitor numerous communi- cation nets. Boarding operations in the North Red Sea were an especially busy time for CIC ' s Operation Specialists. They main- tained tracks and bearings in the busy, commercial transit lane, queried cargo vessels, controlled the Task Group helos and kept the Captain advised of the HUGE surface picture. ' Look!

It takes a special breed to be a communicator; upon departure from homeport, Radiomen are underway until RTHP, including port visits to other countries and even within CONUS. Inport 3 section rotation means a 24 hour watch without Mid-rats. During MED RED NORLANT ' 94 Conolly Radiomen made over 750,000 copies, processed over 5,500 outgoing messages and approx. 66,000 ncoming messages, of which over 24,000 were ad- dressed specifically to CONOLLY, used over 150 diskettes and continuously monitored an average of 17 communications circuits daily.

What the h was that? Being a Signalman is an art- form. First, you get to learn how to draw all the letters and numbers with your body, to read and send morse code with lights, identify ships by their silhouette and country by flag, tie lines and paint a lot. Signal- men are responsible directly to the Officer of the Deck for all contacts in visual range. They must be able to identify them and then communicate visu- ally using international codes.

As a whole, they are responsi- ve for gathering and disseminating electronic information and intelligence on lostile enemy systems, and capabilities and integrating that information into the -ombat Information Center team to support all of the major warfare areas ASUW, ASW, AAW, STW) in order to achieve success during hostile combat ac- ions that CONOLLY may be called upon to support. Electronic Warfare technicians are advanced electronic technicians who oper- ite and maintain specialized electronic systems used in target detection and loca- ion, and for preventing the enemy ' s use of their electronic targeting systems, he AN SLQ-32A(V)3 Anti-Ship Missile Defense suite and MK 36 MOD 6 Decoy aunching system are the primary configurations that t he EW ' s maintain and op- rate.

During the George Washing- ton Battle Group transit we operated with a Los Angeles class submarine and conducted multi-ship ASW. That was to be the last ASW for CA division to participate in for 2 months. In June, July and August a majority of CA division main- tained the Sonar Equipment and stood a reduced Sonar Watch. Approximately of the division were directly involved in supporting the U.N. Sanctions against IRAQ by being mem- bers of the ship ' s Boarding Team or the ship ' s Query Team. The Boarding Teams boarded and searched 104 ships and the Query Team intercepted and questioned over 400 ships. Addi- tionally, during the month of July the ASW team participated in the first multi-ship ASW exercise in the North Red Sea. After departing the Red Sea, while transiting the Med, the ASW team successfully prosecuted a submarine and con- ducted tracking exercises with a German U-boat enroute to Norway. Although CONOLLY was assigned to boarding operations in the North Red Sea for half of the cruise, the ship ' s ASW team logged more submarine contact time during MED RED Cruise 2-94 than any other ship in the GW Battle Group.

Mid way through the cruise the George Washington and several support ships sailed through the Suez Canal and on to the Persian Gulf in a show of force against Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

The above is a possible, but improbable conversation one may encounter while visiting France; usually it will start with Hello. , if there ' s to be a conversa- tion at all. Although language differences posed a variety of problems in the ports we visited, CONOLLY sailors learned to overcome these with a variety of methods. Pointing always works, provided you make sure you ' re not impolite about it. And most shops in resort areas have translation books to help out when what you ' re asking for is not within the range of sight. Our visit to this small town was a steep contrast to memories of visits to larger French towns. The people were ex- ceptionally courteous and helpful, a characteristic lost in the rush of big cities, largely the same conditions one can find in the U.S. 69 EGYPT What ' s under the skirt?!?

ISRAEL In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descen- dant of David. The virgin ' s name was Mary. The an- gel went to her and said. ' Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you. ' Mary was greatly troubled at his words and won- dered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, ' Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end. ' How will this be. ' Mary asked the angel, ' since I am a virgin? ' The angel answered, ' The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God. ' ' I am the Lord ' s servant. ' Mary answered. ' May it be to me as you have said. ' Then the angel left her. Jesus ' birthplace, marked by this star.

W completed 104 boardings from 25 June to 03 September, 199 including the final at-sea boarding in the Red Sea. Inspection were moved ashore to Aqaba, Jordan to reduce delays to comme cial vessels waiting off-shore to be boarded and searched. Through all the boardings not one CONOLLY crew member wa injured. Sadly, other ships ' teams weren ' t as fortunate. The mo serious was a broken leg by a member on the Leyte Gulf. Contains ships were the most dangerous. If the containers should shift sue denly a man could be crushed between them and no one would b able to get to him. WELL DONE! Boarding Teams A B. Boarding Team Alfa.

Without his coaching, knowledge and support, the CONOLLY cruise book would have never left the ground. Thank-you. Editor In closing, here is something to ponder: PEACE Fire flies from all the ships As the battles rage across the seas; Orders are given on the crack of whips, Prayers are sent on silent pleas. Fear climbs to higher peaks As the ocean becomes a giant crypt; Men do rush to patch the leaks, Death they strive to slip. As anger causes guns to roar Young men must meet their fate. Angels chase demons from the door, And open wide the Pearly Gate. Larry E. Lukehart, Sr. May none of us ever experience it. Amen. ■:
