COMMUNICATIONS LCDR WILLIAM T. SMITH, USN COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER Communications is the key to success, and on the USS CORONADO it ' s importance is never more evident. As the command ship, the Communications Department has an added responsibility in that of the force commander and his staff. The Sparks , the CORONADO Radiomen, are a non-stop, ' round the clock bunch, they handle all traffic destined for the Navy in the Middle East. Daily they send and receive upwards 800 messages using various circuits and equipment. Satellite communi- cations, UHF and VHF- most common with a secure voice network, are also used. The messages can include top secret operations, personnel orders, administrative traffic, emergency data, and even personal messages from home on Thanksgiving. In addition, through Tech Control, the crew of the CORONADO are kept abreast daily of current news and sports . . As well are serving CORONADO; and the Joint Task Force Staff the Radiomen also act as the relay station for all ships and Units in the Middle East. This arduous task takes a great deal of speed, attention to detail, and above all; dedication. These adjectives can also be attributed to the CORONADO Signal Gang . With a flash and a flurry, using international codes, the Signalmen can communicate with anyone in the world. With hand held flags or lights, the Sigs use Semaphore to send and receive messages at close distances by spelling out the characters with the placement of their arms. By raising their colorful array of flags and pennants, the Signalmen can send coded messages or simply indicate particular shipboard evolutions such as flight operations or refueling. Flashing lights is the most common method of signaling. Using the long and i™ short dashes of Morse Code, CORONADO Signalmen can quickly send messages to a ship on the horizon 25 miles away. There might not be anything new about a Code Alfa or waving Signal Flags but on the CORONADO, the traditional way is still the most fun. ■MllllllllilllWIIIWllllllfl LT THOMAS MORGAN, USr- CMS CUSTODIAN, ASSISTANT COMMO MCS JAMES WEST, USN COMM DEPARTMENT LCPO LTJG RALPH SHULTZ, USN CMS CUSTODIAN
