The Combat Systems Department is what makes McFAUL a combatant. They own and operate every weapon sys- tem onboard with the help of seven offic- ers, eight chiefs and many talented sailors. TTie six divisions in the department each play a vital role in maintaining and coordi- nating the individual components of a mod- em warship. The Combat Systems Officer (CSO) manages all of McFAUL ' s weapons, com- munications and navigation systems with the expert assistance of the Systems Test Officer (STO), the Electronics Matenal Of- ficer (EMO), and the Weapons Officer (WEPS). The Systems Test Officer is responsible for the overall evaluation, testing, moni- toring, and training of the entire combat systems suite. The Electronics Material Officer and his division have equipment fi-om the very top of McFAUL (the TACAN antenna, which acts as a beacon for air- craft), to the keel (the pitsword, which mea- sures speed through the water) and every space in between, from cable TV to the computer LAN. The Weapons Officer as- sists the CSO in managing the department and leads the four remaining divisions. The Fire Control Officer (FCO), Ord- nance Officer (ORDO), and Undersea War- fare Officer (USWO) work as a combative unit to maintain the individual weapons system components that allow McFAUL to put ordnance on target. It is this group of officers and crew that make our offen- sive and defensive mission areas possible. 30
