A shipshape signal bridge is usually an indication of a smart ship, and LTjg Art Weatherford ' s signal gang is a good spokesman for MIDWAY. Rain or shine, night or day, the vigilant skivvie wavers stand their watches on the weather-exposed bridge. Messages are sent and received by flashing light, semaphore, or signal flags, and during darkened ship , infra-red signalling, termed Nancy , is employed. Visual signalling is gaining ever increas- ing use throughout the fleet, and during radio silence, it is the only means available for the execution of tactical maneuvers. Their job is exacting and tiring, but there ' s not a signalman aboard ship who ' d change his crossed flags for anything else. FRONT ROW: Sa . rbier, D.L., Faasii, T., McDonald, R.E., Brooks, W.J. SECOND ROW: Cole, R.D., Cripe, C.W., Sperry, G.R., Freeman, D.W., ENS J.C. Jones, Ltji A.W. Weatherford, Ferns, M.V., Calhoun, W.C., Johnson, E.F., Whitling, D.A.

As flagship of CTF 77 , nothing is more essential than an efficient communication setup. Thousands upon thousands of mes- sages are handled monthly by the men of OR, and the radio shack is the only place aboard ship that never dims its lights. Day or night, in port or out, twenty four hours a day, the circuits are manned by well trained operators. CW circuits, teletype, and voice nets are just a part of the radio gang ' s responsibility. Once the word is received, if it doesn ' t get where it ' s going — fast — it becomes useless. Sending and receiving, routing in time to make command decisions — the function and raison d ' etre of Oscar Romeo.
