In CIC these men keep the Captain, the Of- ficer of the Deck and all tactical stations informed of surface and air contacts. The radarmen of 01 main- tain a visual record of the disposition of all vessels and aircraft in the imme- diate vicinity. In addition, they are directly concerned with fleet communications, piloting and navigation, air- craft control, electronic countermeasures, and aero- logy. The men of 01 are the eyes of the ship.

The Operations Department consists of four iiighly trained divisions respon- sible for the collection, evaluation and dissemination of combat information. Activities range from the Combat Information Center where the news center of the ship is continually maintained by the 01 Division, through the electronic technicians of the OE Division, to the Communicators in their radio spaces and the semaphore men of the signal bridge. The latter divisions, OR and OS, have additional duties on the Staff, ComSixthFleet and consequently are under their supervision. Electronic countermeasures, aerology, and sharp-eyed lookouts of Forward Air Defense are also integral components of the Operations Department -- all contributing to the steady flow of information from Operations to the Captain and the Officer of the Deck underway and to the related tactical stations of the ship.
