DIVISION The Operations Department is considered one of the most important departments in any tight- ing ship in the Navy. ln this department we have only one division. ln it are men who hold the rates of radioman, signalman and electronic technician. Their duties include conduct of visual and electronic exterior communications and the execution of electronic countermeasures, the search, control of registered publications, and the collection and analysis of intelligence infor- mation. By intelligent usage of our modern elec- tronic eyes and ears , the men of this depart- ment enable the operations officer to perform his task of collection, evaluation, display and dis- semination of combat and operational information required for the missions and tasks of the ship. 66

Gnce in a while they found a few steaks and had some cook-outs to break up the routine of eating below. The Ship's Laundry has washed 80,000 pounds of clothing and returned, in one piece, 95 percent of it to the rightful owner. The Barber Shop has provided haircuts for all hands each week, which amounted to approximately 9,600 heads. The Storekeepers have processed in excess of 10,000 requesitions and maintained a stock of 8,000 different items. The Stewards kept the officers fed and con- tent. Our paymaster, Mr. Bodge, paid out ll g S240,000 to the officers and crew. The Ship's Store which sold almost SB-40,000 worth of goodies , generated 54,000 in profits for the Welfare and Recreation Fund. Service is their business and serve they have.
