CIC OFFICER ENS C. B. CORNELL ASST CIC OFFICER ENS H. W. RACHEL EM OFFICER CWO R. E. DAVIS LPO I. C. HUFF, RD2 ttr m Ol DIVISION Combat Information Center, the eyes and ears of the ship, is located in one little 10 ' by 10 ' compartment packed to the overhead with radarmen, electronic equipment, and the CIC Watch Offi- cer. It is the responsibility of the radarmen to plot all contacts, both surface and air, and also assist the Navigator with radar fixes during low visii)ility piloting. The radarmen sit in their dimly-lit cave and keep the OOD informed of all skunks and bogies, and if they are really on their toes, they will spot a contact before tlie lookouts beat them to it. Their main claim to fame is their coffee mess, which is the most popular corner of CIC.
