B LTJ G GREEN LTJG Hamilton is the HOLT's Communications Officer. His Radiomen have sent and received a tre- mendous amount of radio messages and have spread the HOLT's Battle Comms reputation to all fringes of the radio wave. The Signalmen have en- joyed the best View onboard, never wavering while they hoisted their signal flags and flashed their lights -from the cold of the Sea of Japan to the heat of fthe Philippine Sea. , ja, JAY .r ff' X f 1. , 'MW y when if Wy 4 , ipai ' 5 , ZW I he f.

The Operations Specialists Of OI spend much of their underway time in the Combat Information Center communicating on radio circuits, plot- ting radar contacts or involved in intense training exer- CISGS. LTJ G HAMILTON The' Electronics Material Officer, LTJ G Meimarides, manages two groups of electronic wizards. The Electronic Technicians keep the HOLT's communications and radar gear tuned to perfection, and on the rare occasions when necessary, use their electron magic to correct even the most complicated problems. Electronic Warfare Techni- cians round out the OPS Dept. Their never ending quest to rule the electro-magnetic spectrum has left the rest of the EW's in the Battle Group riding on a low frequency wave. Hard work is the rule in OPS, yet there has been plenty of time for well earned liberty in some of the most inter- esting ports-of-call in the Western Pacific. For HOLT and her Operations Department, this has been a truly success- ful WESTPAC deployment.
