They maintain and operate the ship's long range ears, her Electronic Warfare equipment. These sen- sors analyze the radar emissions of other ships and aircraft. Using information gathered, NASSAU's E W's are able to determine the type of radar it is, its function, usually the type of craft it is on, and the intentions of the craft itself The EW rate was born in September 1970, out of a need for personnel trained in the operation and maintenance of the highly-sophisticated EW equipment of the day. Prior to this time the equipment was operated by Operations Spe- cialists Ithen called Radarmenj and maintained by Electron- ic Technician s. Therefore, the first E W's were selected from among these rates. Strategic and intelligence necessities being what they were, the rate called for highly motivated and trained per- sonnel capable of performing the job at hand. Keeping with tradition, NASSAU's Echo Whiskey Gang has such per- sonnel. And their professional attitude in the performance of their duties has reflected commendably upon them and upon the ship aboard which they serve. 4' left' f?A1i id8f' C0nfemP1at5'5 3 m3f0r deci- Above, EW2 Harry Hallett makes some Hlfe' sion. ea unc or take a nooner. tuning adjustments to some of the EW GCJUIP' ment.
