Chain of Command 2 9? .l l ,ju gf, ,ff i, ' F? V. i 5 Communication Is The Key lust as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so a ship's integrity is determined by the strength of its chain of command. Individuals Within that chain communicate up and down its length, passing vital information from the very top levels to the lowest decks. The following pages introduce the chain of command during Lincoln's WestPac '93 deploy- ment. These Navy men, who have been to sea many times before, have a commitment to communication that is the essential ingredient to making a Navy chain of command work to its greatest potential. The top echelon of Lincoln 's chain of command meets during a lighthearted morning staff meeting. CI-'rom left: Rear Adm. Dantone, Commander, Carrier Group THREE, Capt. Nihe, Commanding Officer, USS Abraham Lincolng and Capt. McArthur, Commander, Carrier Air Wing Elevenj
