I I is I I The Operations Division, composed of Radiomen, Radarmen, Electronic Technicians and Quartermaster-Signalmen provide the ship with long range communication, visual communication and beyond the horizon lookouts. I Long range communication is the job of the ship's RADIOMEN. They keep the ship in constant contact with the administrative forces ashore, assuring that the ship, when out ot sight, is never out of touch with other ships and shore stations. The QUARTERMASTER-SIGNALMEN provide us with visual communication with other ships while steaming in a convoy by means of blinker lights, semaphore and tlaghoist. They also serve as the primary lookouts of the ship. ' The RADARMEN are the long range lookouts that keep a constant watch on the area that lies tar beyond the i horizon, reporting any contact appearing on the radar scope which might endanger the ship or hinder it's movement. Z The many different pieces ot electric equipment used by the Radiomen and Radarmen must be kept in top I operating condition, and repaired from time to time. This iob requires skilled personnel for its completion, and is the 5 function ot the ELECTRONIC TECHNICIANS.
