HI CD DIVISION DSI Lage DSI Gibeault DSI Broadbelt DSI Fischer If the engineering plant could be considered the muscle of the MISSISSIPPI, then the Com- puter Room could be called the brains. To de- stroy a distant enemy target moving at super- sonic speed requires solving complex ballistic calculations and interfacing high speed com- munications between a professional operations team, in the Combat Information Center, and the highly effective weapons systems they control. To be a potent battle group, necessi- tates sharing vital tactical information, via link, with other friendly forces of the fleet. CD Divi- sion, the guru ' s of the Computer Room, main- tain complex computer systems that solve these problems and help provide for the de- fense of the ship. Additionally, the growth of computer systems throughout the Navy is ex- panding at a rapid rate and MISSISSIPPI has stayed abreast with this growth. DS3 Eirhart DS3 Matro DS3 Parker
