LT J. E. ELWELL Operations Officer W I J - . LTJG G. A. BENGSON Communications Officer OC Division Officer OPERATIONS The Operations Department is made up of two Divisions, OC and OE. OC includes Radiomen, Aerographer ' s Mates, and Signalmen ; communications : eyes and ears of the Ship ! OC is thus our link with the outside world as Signalmen talk with other ships in visual range, the Ra- diomen handle thousands of messages from ships and shore stations out of visual range, and the Aerographer ' s Mates keep the com- mand advised of important weather infor- mation. OE Division is comprised of Electronics Technicians and Radarmen. The Radarmen man the Combat Information Center 24 hours a day and keep the Officer of Deck advised of all radar contacts, soundboat operations, and voice radio traffic. The ET Technicians must maintain the complex electronics sys- tems which are required for our ship ' s hydrographic operations. ENS J. 0. KINSFATHER Asst. Operations Officer ■ 1 ' . CWO-2 R. E.
