DIVI I0 HE C D1v1s1oN of the YVORCESTER is a well organized and efficient unit of the Uperations Department. The divi- sion is composed of Radiomen, Signalnien and Telemen who work around the clock serving command, the llag of Com- mander Cruiser Division FOUR and assisting in the daily ad- ministration of the ship as required by the many departments. In addition, and while at sea, a daily press sheet is compiled as a service to the officers and crew. Falling in this same cate- gorie is the Post Oflice which plays a very important part in the morale of all hands aboard by handling our mails, selling stamps, money orders and offering other special services as special delivery, registry and insured service at very nominal fees. 'When nearing Stateside ports from foreign duty and while cruising in coastal waters, communications aboard the YNOR- CESTER offer an additional service known as a ship-to-shore Radiotelephone. Considering the service from a point at sea Qmaximum about 300 milesj and distance to where call is being placed, this service is not as expensive as it may be judged and rates highly on the level ol' the morale of the ship as a whole. lt is also possible for personnel of the VVORCESTER to transmit messages while at sea to loved ones at home or for business purposes. The transmission of this type of message, as a service, is governed by the urgency of the message and contents. The message is sent over naval circuits and refiled with a commercial company at the place of reception in the U. S. Charges for this service are very reasonable and are col- lected by personnel in the post office. These charges are com- puted on number of words sent categorie, i.e., straight message, night letter, etc. and distance. Wle of the Division are proud to be a part of the Navy's communication system and are pleased to be of service to our shipmates in making life aboard more interesting and en- joyable. i' First Row: Norman R.

These men are charged with the col- lection, display, evaluation and dissemination of all available combat information to command and control stations.
