N U DIVISION The Communications Department serves all other departments aboard ship. It is composed of Radiomen, Radio Technicians, Signalmen, Yeomen, Printers, Mailmen, and Buglers. Continuously alert to receive messages addressed to our ship, it is on a 24 hour-a-day basis. Radio One, commonly known as the Radio Shack , is the nerve center for rapid communications. Here are located the receivers over which we keep in contact with the far flung units and commands of all the branches of the service, yes, even with enemy communications. All operations depend entirely upon accurate and rapid communications. Messrages must be orig- inated, encrypted, transmitted, received, decrypted, and delivered by a smooth working chain from originator to action addee. Radio operators and coding board oHicers handle incoming and outgoing messages. -Radio' technicians keep the radio receivers and transmitters operating. Signalmen handle visual communications which are received or transmitted by flashing light, Hag hoist, and semaphore. The buglers regulate our daily ship's routine from Reveille to Taps, sounding--boat calls, emerg- ency drill calls, mess calls, and that old favorite mail call. Our mailmen start our letters on their way and bring us those sweet missives from home. The yeomen in the C Division keep the records and ship's correspondence up to date in the Captain's and Executive OHicer's oflices. The Printers supply all departments of the ship with printed forms, programs, and different sizes and kinds of paper, depending upon the requirements. All these various duties require skilled men who have intelligence, common sense, dependability and high eiiiciency.
