Todd ET3 M- Parker Gaze at the superstruc- ture of any modern war- ship and you'll find it covered with a forest of antennas, radars, wires, bulbs, bumps, and other metal objects which defy description. As odd as they look, each has a vital purpose, for they help to serve as the eyes and ears of the Missis- sippi. And taking care of most of that forest is the tremendous job of the Electronics Technicians of CE Division. Beyond radars, though, they care for hundreds of pieces of equipment in- side the ship, for if it has electronics fand what doesn't nowadays?J, it means CE Division. Dedicated and hard- working, small but pow- erful, CE is always there to keep our microchips chirping and our radar eyes watching. CE Division 1 . 4 I ETC W. Baranski LTJG C.

Bennett STGCS R. Rowell The Mighty Mississippi is designed to do it all- in the skies, on the sur- face, and beneath the waves. The latter third of that triad - Antisub- marine Warfare - be- longs to the Sonar Tech- nicians of CA Division. This small but indis- pensable group of professionals are re- sponsible for finding and tracking subma- rines, and developing a defense against them using the weapons sys- tems we have onboard. Using sophisticated equipment that allows them to see beneath the sea, these men can identify underwater tar- gets according to shape, size, speed, and other characteristics. Small but strong, we can all feel a lot safer knowing that CA Division is on watch. CA Division Sonar Technician
