From the beginning, CF was undermanned in every workcenter due to numerous unplanned losses. Nonetheless, the AEGIS Division met every challenge with superior results. The rigorous schedule of Combat Systems Ship Qualification Trials was no match for the Fire Controlmen of CF Division. Successfully shooting ten Standard Missiles and maintaining f ull operability of SPY-IB (V), MK 99 FCS, ADS, and the AEGIS Computers was no small task. Following CSSQT, Refresher Training in GITMO proved to be as difficult as ever, but CF played a major role in the successful completion of Total Ship ' s Survivability Drills. Who could forget all of those medical, DC, and CBR questions asked? After scouring and shining AUX 1 prior to OPPE, CF then began preparations for Final Contract Trials and Post Shakedown Availability. PSA was very intense due to the installation of a Moving Target Indicator Modification and Advanced Large Screen Displays. After PSA, the UYK-43 computers received a major upgrade to increase performance. VANDALEX was the next test of the AEGIS Combat System, and once again, CF ensured the high speed, low altitiude target was detected and tracked, a firing solution was generated, a Standard Missile was fired and guided, and the target was destroyed. Counter Drug Ops then provided the opportunity to test the long range detec- tion capability of SPY-IB(V).
