The combi- nation of BM ' s, QM ' s, RM ' s, RD ' s, EW ' s, AG ' s, YN ' s, TN ' s, and Marines form this necessarily independent unit. Using Flag Plot as the nerve center when COMMANDER CRUISER DIVISION THREE is OTC, the Flag division provides the Division Com- mander with strategical, tactical, and navigational information. When the Columbus is operating independently, the Flag division keeps the Division Commander informed and up to date on all information that concerns him, so as to prevent an overload on Columbus CIC and Bridge.
