OPERATIONS An important aspect of CANOPUS is that she is a mobile repair facility. The Quartermas- ters of Operations ! Navigation are the men who plot the courses and stand the necessary underway watches in the Pilot House. Another very important job of OPSINAV is communica- tions. The Signalmen are responsible for visual communication while at sea and in port, using the various signal flags, pennants and lights. Electronic communications falls in the hands of the OPSXNAV Radiomen. Thousands of messages pour into Radio Central concerning every aspect of CANOPUS, Radio Central receives these messages and passes them along to their appropriate destinations. OPSXNAV also has a staff of Electronics Technicians on hand to repair and maintain the navigation and communications equipment. The job of OPSXNAV, like all others on CANOPUS, is a vital one.
