PERATIONS The complete performance of any Navy vessel depends upon the total contributions of all the separate departments and divisions. Operations Department is concerned with many aspects of the ship's routine, including communications, collection of intelligence, electronic repair, and postal service. Its primary mission is the gathering of information vital to the operation of the ship, and the timely dis- semination of this information to decis ion-making individuals aboard. lt is the nerve center of the ship. To accomplish its function as gatherer and disseminator it is organized in four divisions which work together as a team OC Division is responsible for all electronic com munications With the radio gear installed aboard the Washburn, the radiomen are able to communicate with the ship alongside or across an ocean OS Division is concerned with visual communications including flaghoist flashing light infra red, and semaphore OE Division performs the very necessary task of keeping the ship's electronic equipment in operational condition through repair and maintenance Ol Division is made up of radarmen who are responsible for the collection, evaluation, and dis semination of information gained from the sh1p's radar Not directly connected with the Department's primary mission of collection and dissemination of information, the pos tal clerk performs another function, tha t f maintaining morale by providing mail service to the ship s company and embarked troops The Operations Department serves the Washburn willingly and with interest its tasks are many and sometimes great, however no challenge goes unaccepted, no Job is too large Like the Washburn, we are a can do outfit LCDR F.
