enemy. operating xsithin di-tcctalvlc range ol' the Shipg and alter haxing collected and evaluated this information. it is also ClCis joli to inlorni the people who must know this collected llllittflllillltlll to per- form their duties competently. This information in- cludes such things as courses. speeds. altitudes, points of closest approach. formations and many others. Radios, radars and other electronic equipment are used to obtain this information. The Radarman must know how to operate this equipment and must also be familiar with the special techniques used by CIC to accomplish its tasks. One ofthe most important jobs of CIC is to assist in the navigation of the ship. Wlien CIC performs its job well, the Oflicer of the Deck knows well in ad- vance if a dangerous situation exists, and thus has time to make the necessary changes to avoid an acci- dent. K Division has a very high percentage of rated men E-L:l,lliltj1 wwhovghave been with the ship over a long period of consecutive service. It is not surprisgthen to find that they possess talents along other lines. Take Georger, composer of the very popular song, NThis ls My Navyfl for example. And then, of course, there's Nance, Whose pencil can come up with a dev- astating caricature of uChee3y7, Chesshir as easily as it can a DHT track. Wilcox can give you an illus- trated lecture on uBrubeck7s Fundamental Har- moniesw while Airy is the generally recognized expert on cigarette smoking. Cummisk has made a door-to- door survey on the habits of Babysan and is a willing source of information on the subject. When the Far East Cruise is completed, a good many of the K divisionites will go on to other duty -whether it be a coveted shore billet or back to the farm. Let no man deny that, given the situation, a good time was had by all. BOTTOM Rowg A, H, Hoffman. C. Wrliitney. N. D. Wilc'rJx. R. L. Nance, F. R. Burns. NTIDDLE ROW: E. L. Potect, H. Supper, R. H.
