Fox Division is composed oi Firecontrolmen, the Sonarmen, and the Torpedomen. Cur job in short is to direct the various projectiles CHedge-hogs, Depth charges, Torpedos, Gunfire? to the target. We make use of various complicated devices to ac- complish this end. Sonar, Radar and optical equipment are all very complex, hence our greatest asset is a number ot Well trained men, ex- perts in electronics, mechanics, and electrical machinery. lt the target is within range, we tell the gunners how to lay their guns for a hit. In this game we can even hit the target when We can't see him.
