OMPOSED OF radarmen air controlmen photographers and aerologists, 0-9 Division serves as the eyes of the ship and during periods of combat conditions as an agency for the collection, evalua- tion and dissemination of data for the command with headquarters in Combat Information Center. Associated more closely with embarked air squadrons than any other shipboard group with the exception of the Air Department, all hands in the Division are aircraft conscious. The work day of every man revolves around aircraft flights, from collection of weather data to photo coverage and radar surveillance and control of airborne planes. Recently added to the divisional responsibilities has been CCA the carrier counterpart of Ground Controlled Ap- proach for bringing aircraft aboard during periods of low visibility and bad weather, for which we received a complement of six air controlmen among them Dadi' Chalfant ACI, reputed to be the oldest radarman in the fleet. Working with the latest Navy search radars and associated devices and under the guiding hand of LCDR Danny Deaver USNR the Combat Information Center boss, the radar personnel of the divi- sion have been welded into a team which closely resembles those found in major combatant ships in the last war. A subdivision of O-3 Division is the Aerology gang. Weather, and its direct effects on flying and flyers is a subject of paramount importance on a carrier not only to the aviators, but to those whose duty it is to plan and execute ship and fleet operations. Theirs is the task of collection, evaluation and dissemination of weather data, forecasting and advising top staff members of its anticipated effects on scheduled maneuvers. Another variety of eyes for the fleet is the photographers, the third subdivision of 0-5 Division. The Navy's extensive Public Information services and operational photography requirements are met through the work of our photographers. First row: E. P. Rogan, C, A, Shew, A. A. Doherty, R. P.

HE V-1 DIVISION is the hardest working group on the ship. These are the men who make Air Operations on a carrier what they are to-day. They are responsible for the movement of all air craft from the time they land until they are air borne. Plane crashes and fire fighting on the flight deck also takes up their time. V-1 has a job demanding alertness, hard work, and close attention to orders. It is very dangerous work and the men assigned to this division must be on their toes if they expect to survive the many hazards they ...p:. 5 encounter during operations. Wlien not engaged in respot repair- ing barriers, arresting gear, and the catapults, they get a chance to catch a little sun. With them its very often holiday routine-holiday for the rest of the ship, routine for them. In fact, they were so busy that this write up had to be done for them by some one out- side of the division. But without their long tiring hours of work the efficiency of the ship as a lighting unit would be greatly im- paired. All right, you all Americans, let's go back to work. First row: YV. 0.
