The hospital corpsmen provide quick and efficient medical attention to those in 'Adistress during our at sea period. Work- ing in conjunction with the doctor they proved fully capable of meeting any contin- gency and providing for any emergency. In addition, the cleanliness of the ship as regards health hazards was always a para- mount concern. Also with OC division are the signalmen --those men who fly high on the signal bridge keeping watch over the ship's visual com- munications. From flags to flashing lights theirs is a 24 hour a day job, many times requiring long exposure to the winds and weather. R. Fletcher. RMSN R. Hastings.

STARK COMMUNXCATIONS OFFICER v A, -r --' IVISIOII To provide and maintain reliable, rapid and secure visual and radio com- munications is the basic function of OC division. ln this division, also, are the medical corpsmen who administer to the health and sanitation needs of the personnel aboard the ship. ln the communications ' ' shack radiomen are busy 24 hours a day ensuring that messages are delivered promptly to the proper persons for action or information and that all messages originated by this command are sent prompt- ly. Theirs is an important mission in today's world of electronic communi- cations, one that demands the utmost reliability without the sacrifice of speed and timeliness. From CIC may come the call to ' ' check my transmitter or ' ' l'm not getting a key on this transmitter --all this adds up to make an interesting watch for the radiomen as they man this most important link with higher command. 1 J 4 . t , ' .

The quartermasters see that the ship travels from place to place along its prescribed route. From studying the weather and currents, getting a fix by stars, to shooting sun lines and maintaining a DR, and correcting charts --these are the myriad duties of the QM as he ensures the FARRAGUT a safe passage on the high seas. Personnelmen and yeomen make up the other half of N division--ship's office. They ensure that correspondence is timely and correct, that records are kept accurately, and that the mountain of paperwork involved in running a ship this size is expeditiously handled. D.
