LT. J. F. Merry OE Division Officer Krai, son of Krai Tthe world ' s first sailor), was very per- turbed. His enemy across the lake had invented the catapult. Whenever Krai would paddle to the middle of the lake to the choice fishing grounds, his enemy would catapult rocks at him and damage his log. Krai decided to put a tight roof over his log, which would shield him from the falling rocks. Unfortunately, the roof was so tight Krai could not see out and i genius that he was ) managed to invent the toothpick by running his log into an exposed rock. It became obvious that some method of seeing beyond the limits of the ship was necessary. Krai never found the answer, but years later mankind did — electronics. But like everything else man-made, electronic gear is not permanent. It occasionally suffers from malfunction and break- down. Maintenance of such gear as radar, radios, sonar, aero- logical testing instruments and antennas is the job of OE Divi- sion. (TOP) : To (MIDDLE) Senn. D. A (ET). fflemire, I). I ' : Okano. R.
