Communications is our business, whether it be visually bysflashing light, or over the horizon by radio, or around the world by satellite. Our responsibility is to provide rapid and reliable communications 24 hours a day. Our division is divided into two work centers, the Radiomen and the Signalmen. The Signalmen stand their watches on the flying bridge and do most of their work outside, as they send their messages to other ships within visual range by flashing light, flaghoist and semaphore. They also assist the Officer of the Deck in the identification of surface and air contacts. The Signalmen are also well known throughout the ship as having some of the best tans onboard the LAWRENCE. The ship's Radiomen however, do most of their communicating indoors and have one of the most comfortable work centers on the ship. Ship's operations demand fast, accurate and reliable communications which are provided by the radio operators in Radio central. The equipment they operate is highly sophisticated and consists of satellite equipment, powerful high frequency transmitters and other equipment. In addition, the Radiomen provide the shorter range communications which is necessary in ship-to-ship tactical voice communications. They are responsible for the tuning and patching to remote stations in CIC, the bridge and even to the Helo Detail, the radio equipment necessary for the LAWRENCE's daily operations. During our cruise the Radiomen trasmitted over 6000 messages and processed 20,000 incoming messages. This along with all of the afore mentioned responsibilities were accomplished by a professional communications team.
