OC Division The task of OC Division is to communicate with the FLEET by using both radio and visual signals. It ' s the job of the Radioman (RM) to operate and in some cases maintain the highly technical communications equipment which connects FLINT to the Navy ' s world-wide network. Theirs is among the most highly classified ratings on the ship, owing to the sensitive nature of the equipment they use and the information which passes through the radio shack . The other half of OC Division is the Signalmen (SM), who are skilled in the use of hand signals, semaphore flags and flashing light. When FLINT is maintaining radio silence or when operating in formation with other ships, the SM comes to the fore, employing his art of silent speech. 56

O-I Division The job of O-I Division is to maintain and operate the ship ' s radar, help in plotting courses, maneuver in formation and man ship-to-ship radio circuits during tactical exercises. In a way they are the eyes of the ship, but the Operations Specialists ' (OS ' s) who watch the scope depend on the technical skills of the Electronics Technician (ET) to keep the radars tuned no matter how bad the weather. ET ' s also repair the ship ' s antenna system and work closely with the radiomen, doing both preventive maintenance and specialized troub- leshooting on all communication gear. Together, the Operations Specialists, Electronics Technicians and Radiomen com- prise Operations Department. 58
