CR Division The men of the CR Division operate the equip- ment and process the intelligence necessary to provide the ship and flag with instantaneous con- tact with any command in the Naval Establish- ment night and day, in port or at sea, they maintain communications with other ships, shore stations and aircraft. Behind the Exclusion Arean sign on the door to Radio Central is the nerve center of the ship. It is there that the shipboard communications equipment is coordinated to establish voice, radio- telegraph, and radioteletype circuits and to patch them to the many remote keying positions throughout the ship. This equipment includes the antennas located in the superstructure and the transmitters, receivers and associated gear in the five radio spaces scattered from the top of the missile house to the second deck forward. In addition to normal message traliic, the radiomen furnish hydrographic aids to navigation, weather information and facsimile weather maps. At sea, press broadcasts are copied to collect news for the GALVESTON STAR. With all this activity, the radiomen have still found time to distinguish themselves in the area of personnel improvement and advancement during the cruise. JOHNSON, Leroy Ir., RM3 was awarded the coveted COMCRUDESPAC Speed Key Certificate by Captain RUDDEN. This award is given for passing a test of sending and receiving code at the rate of 30 words per minute with accuracy. The work of the radiomen was varied and the hours were long but they have the satisfaction of knowing that they played a vital role in the success of GALVESTON during the cruise. S , x N L , Q4 Ns t.
