CR operates complex electronic communication equipment and is tasked with sending. receiving. handling, and distributing all messages received aboard ship. In addition, their control of secure transmission gear and material is essential in maintaining security. lt is without a doubt the highest workcenter on the ship. It is the signalbridge where the most expert lookouts are located. CS is tasked with a variety of duties, including all aspects of visual communications: flashing lights, semaphore Cboth are used for transmitting simple messagesl, and the flag hoist is used for maneuvering and tactical information. Also. CS Division is responsible for detecting and identifying all surface, air. and sub-surface contacts in the area and determining if each is friend or foe.

Second Division also mans an unrep station. From the shrill call of the Bos'n pipe securing the special sea and anchor detail, Second Division had a challenge in preparing the ship's boats for the extensive use while on station. With very little experience and not many qualified coxswains, Second Division was faced with a big task in training more coxswains. Many long hours were spent in picket boats while at anchor. providing on-hands experience for boat coxswains. With that extra picket boat experience, the coxswains won the July 4 boat regatta. In all, it was a memorable time. rt lu, A I i i I .nm 8 4 1 L , if . ii 'I il 'J' A ' .:.' ,tl 1 Vi' .W I' l really don't know what this wheel does.

Though IWO is the finest amphibious vessel in the Fleet, we still needed fuel to steam the thousands of miles we did. Unreps fulfilled the need by filling IWC with JP5 Qaircraft fuelj and DFM Qship's fuelj. An average Unrep left IWO with JMR gals of JP5 and SMH gals of DFM.

A big reason being it allowed the media the opportunity to get the stories to the U.S. to air July 4. Many guests, American and Lebanese dignitaries and their families and other citizens of Lebanon enjoyed the hospitality of IWO JIMA. A highpoint of the celebration, which marked 55 consecutive days at sea, was the performance by Lebanon's only Folkloric Touristic Group. Many of the countries songs and traditions were acted out. In addition, Gen. Ibrahim Tannous, Commander of Lebanon's army, thanked us for keeping the peace.

The USS IWO JIMA is the first naval vessel since 'Nam to take on combat casualties - IOS of them. The members of ship's medical. Surgical Team I4 and medical of HMM l62 are proud of their contribution in Beirut as part of the Multinational Peacekeeping Force. Their greatest challenge was on Oct. 23, following the terrorist bombing of the BLT in Beirut. But if you ask the corpsmen. they'Il tell you it was an all hands evolution , wherein as many messcooks could be .found helping the wounded as corpsmen. and where volunteers seemed to come from everywhere. When not confronted with casualties however, the department settled back to treating sick and injured sailors and Marines. Always harassing the rest of the crew for audiograms. flu shots, physical exams and stretcher bearers, the men of the medical department were ready to serve and standing proud. fag' 2 l K' A 6,1 I 'I PFI K or THE FLEET ,pw .- in .. , s... my ' is --1 '!x , , ,.b.,5,.,m.,..,t .1:a4f.,,w. f ua,r.a.sa.ut-'assi-vang.

The 250 men squadron provided a very valuable service to not only the Marines ashore, but also to the sailors in MARG 2- 83. Mail and supplies were high on the list of things transported by HMM-I62. Diplomatic efforts were also high priority for the squadron. Numerous times HMM- l62 was called upon to transport U.S. mediators to various cities in the area.

Reasner E .++4, Navigation Department 1- OMSN R.K. McGhan Navigation, once considered an art. has become a science and a technology. The word is a combination of the Latin Navis , a ship, and Agere. to drive. Navigation, in short, has to dc with the whole of a journey from start to finish and is concerned with four basics - finding the way. avoiding collision, fuel consumption and timekeeping. These responsibilities were assumed by the ship's navigator. LCdr. Martin R. Hill, who also performed as staff navigator for PHIBRON 8. LCdr. Hill was instrumental in directing the movements of task force ships. This being a demanding position to fill, the navigator was assisted by members of the Quartermaster rating, with QMC Hogg designated as assistant navigator. Throughout the cruise. lWO's navigation team went through numerous charts and covered thousands of miles, which required a good deal of self-discipline and training. For Navigation, it was a successful mission for which the drivers can be extremely proud. ij.f,,,.,1,...,,:.5 .,.,:.T,i.

Radar is the eyes of any ship and without it. IWO's stellar performance in Lebanon may have been less than superb. Ol Division utilizes OE's radar to collect and process tactical info to keep the bridge aware of activity around the ship. The men of C.I.C. are prepared to supply the necessary info at all times, enabling the ship to defend itself during an air, surface or sub-surface attack. A combined division. OWXOP consists of intelligence and photography. ln its intelligence role, information and signals sent by other, possibly hostile forces, in gathered and sent to the C.l.C. watch officer and the OOD to assist them in making tactical decisions.

There were not many actual incidents' this cruise, but had there been. the various repair lockers, in coordination with Damage Control Central and the Bridge. would have combatted the fires. There were seven repair lockers on IWO. Each is situated in the more dangerous and vital areas of the ship. Repair lockers in engineering spaces generally are manned by engineers, lockers near the flight deck are manned by airdales. DC Central is the nerve center of the complete DC team. From there, recommendations are made to repair lockers concerning fighting fires or damage inflicted by hostile forces. lt's a complex yet effective organization, one no ship can do without.

Hering, lWO's supply department faced many challenges as Y l' part of MARGZ-83. and accepted them with great zeal. Composed o several diverse divisions, lWG's supply department proved to be a team worthy of praise. Those divisions and a brief overview of theii functions during the deployment are as follows: S-IF, S-IM and S-6 Divisions worked, received, stocked, inventoried and distributed several hundred tons of equipment and supplies esstenial to continued operation of IWO during the deployment. S-2 prepared and served more than a half-millon meals. They provided bakery items to the Marines, and S-2 maintained an impressive appearance. S-3 Division operated and maintained lWO's laundry, dry cleaning. barber shops, vending and ship's store with great finesse. The ship's M53 Sanger Carves dessert. store sold more than a quarter-million candy bars alone. S-4 Division handled what probably was one of the more important aspects of supply. S-4 supplied each man with his paycheck. S-5 operated the l've been on hold three hoursl wardroom in enviable fashion. catering to hundreds of V.l.P.s. S-7 effected everyone with processing reports for every department, plus they printed everyone's paycheck. IWO s Supply Department - so much more than just a name. 1 ls that Ens.
