Operations Department This Department is composed of two divisions, Operations and Navigation. Operations is the team of men standing watch in CIC fCombat Information Centerj. During times of action, they compile pertinent information on movement of Ships, friendly and enemy, plot all aircraft, and relay this information to the gun mounts. CIC also controls the ships movement during anti-submarine warfare, in a peacetime drill or a wartime strategy. The men of this division also send and receive all of the radio traffic going to and from the ship. This is the radioman's job and the importance of their dah-dits are well known. Signalmen are the other part of the Operations Department, and their responsibility is signalling by any of many methods-flashing light, fvisible day and nightj and semaphore, or flag waving, visible for 'shorter distances. Their work gets into high gear when Operating with a large task force, and lights seem to be blinking from all 360 degrees around the ship. The Nav- igation Department includes a knowledge of stars, contour of the ocean floor, and weather as all important to putting the ship in at the right port after being tossed about across thousands of miles of open seas.
