These men are the eyes of the ship and the men who keep these eyes functioning. SKUNK, BOGIE, RING TIME . . . this is some of the strange language that is constantly being heard in CIC — the Combat Information Center. In dark- ness punctuated by the fluorescent glow of radar scopes, the Radarmen have many responsibilities, among them navigation, stationkeeping and collecting information, evaluating and disseminating this information to the people con- cerned in the shortest possible time. ' Get an ET is a favorite byword in CIC, radio and on the bridge. The Electronic Technicians are responsible for the maintenance of all radar, com- munications and identification equipment on board. Their headaches range from simple speech distortion in radios to major radar breakdowns.
