OC DIVI IO : Signalmen The Signalmen fSM'sJ of OC Division provide FARRAGUT'S visual communications. Through the use of flashing lights GZ incondecent search lightsb, flag hoist, and sema- phore Chand signalsl, Signalmen can communicate with other surface ships within line of sight. With the help of the big-eyes line of sight can extend over the horizon. FARRAGUT has two big-eyes, giant binoculars, located on the port and starboard sides of the signal bridge. These are essential in identifying visual communications from other ships. On a clear day big-eyes can see up to about 16 miles. Flags are used both underway and inport to notify other ships of an evolution or maneuver FARRAGUT is or is about to be engaged in. For example, if FARRAGUT is involved in a turning maneuver while steaming in formation, a flag goes up the halyard which identifies their inten- tions and subsequent actions. Inport flags are used to identify such shipboard evolutions as men working aloft, divers over the side, re-fueling, explosives handling, etc. Even though Radio has a much wider range of capabilities and is used for most of the ship's major commun- ications, visual communications can always be counted on by the Signal- men even when the radio equipment is out-of-commission. 555-

NTDS makes it possible for FARRAGUT to engage with at least three hostile targets simultaneously- all three of FARRAGUT'S main weapons systems can be controlled and fired with the help of NTDS. With a link to another ship, FARRAGUT'S capabilities are expanded considerably and the DS's must keep their system ready to go on the line in a minutes notice. The DS's also repair the Operations Specialist's scopes and consoles in CIO, which are linked to the NTDS computers. Recently OD Division has taken on the responsibility of maintaining FARRAGUT'S television system, and the D1S's have proved that they can handle just about anything that comes t eir way.
