T The Operations Intelligence Division, composed of Electronic Technicians and Radar- - ' men, maintains and mans the nerve center of the ship. It is the ET's job to keep the ' f complex electronics systems Working properly. These are the many intelligence gather 3, ing sensors fradar, radio, ECM, etc.J which provide the information vital to opera- j ting the ship as an effective combat unit. Where the ET provides a means of collect- '. ing this information, the Radarman provides a means of using it. It is the job of the if Radarman to sort the many bits of information and organize them into a logical pic- ture on which quick and accurate decisions can be made. -' These are interesting and rewarding jobs and this cruise will be long remembered 2-I for we were able to see the direct results of our Work.

B DIVISIO WW. a-QA ' nr nf S u KNEELING: Nazer, Linker, Baucom, STANDING: Mittleberger, Lail, Basham, Collett, Price, Beaubien, Siehl, Barnes, Lynn, Roach, Muns, Johnson, Robinson, Yielding, Davenport. Q I 1 E B Division is made u of men commonl referred to as the sni es. The sni es are P in charge of tending the four boilers on board ship which in turn furnish the steam to run this 2250 ton hunk of Steel. Working for B Division is not by any means a glamorous job. This is due largely to the extraordinarily hot spaces in which the snipes are required to Work. During B the past cruise the BT's suffered through 1200 to 1300 heat in the firerooms g Besides providing steam , B Division must maintain their equipment at a high state ' K of efficiency. A great many times this is done in-port when the equipment is not b . . . . . eing used. This means that someone loses a little liberty in order that the Walke will be ready to go for the next period at sea. A tough assignment but the men of B Division may be proud of the job they did dur- ing the 1965 West Pac Cruise. l 54? Ql fs 18 5 E 5 4 I ' ' .5
