Helo Operations ■ Flight Quarters. F light Quar- ters, all hands to your (light quar- ters stations. . . Aboard HARR E. VARNELL these words were heard several times a week, some- times several times a day. And when it ' s passed, the men of the H.-VRRV E. move quiekly to man the night crews and helo crash de- tails, ready to receive another helo- copter safely and efficiently. Al- though CG- 1 7 can not land a helo- copter, it can receive a hovering helo over either its forw ard or after helo decks. Even without a helo de- tachment onboard, these men arc called away frequently and at times must remain on station for long periods. Judging from these pictures though, it looks as if they make themselves comfortable while doing it. 70

ON Division Nmination I)i ision The navigators. Since ancient times, ships steered b the stars, travelling through unknown seas to gel to where they were going. Today the Quartermasters have more than the stars to guide them, but the celestial bodies still provide a reliable mans of ' fixing our position, something we do every hour, every da we are underway. Sometimes more. The navigators start prepar- ing weeks before we leave port, laying out routes on charts, upda- ting navigation aid publications and, of course, keeping the brass clean on the bridge. The other half of the division hangs out on another bridge the signal bridge. Led by the whip-cracking SMC Porter, the signalmen take care of visual communication for the ship. A ship depends on visual signals heavily, even in this age of radio and satellite communication. Flaghoist and flashing light are still two of the most secure methods for transmitting messages, since the enemy must be within visual range to intercept them, unlike radio communication which can be intercepted, sometimes at ranges of more than 100 miles. From daily colors, to tactical signals on flaghoist, a signalman ' s work is meant to be seen b many. LT ROBERT L D.WIDSON 0M3 BENJAMIN F BOYER f - V r S.MSN BLSTER f PO ELSEY - -W SM3 J.AMES R.
