Page 30 text:

COMBAT SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT Lt. STEVEN OKUN COMBAT SYSTEMS OFFICER Combat Systems Department is made up of the people and equipment that allow John Young to meet today ' s multi-warfare needs. John Young ' s main arsenal is the Tomahawk Cruise missile and vertical launched anti-submarine rockets launched from the MK 41 Vertical Launching Sys- tem. Surface support comes from two MK 45 5-inch guns and harpoon missiles. The Rolling Airframe Missile, Sea Sparrow Missile and the MK 15 Close-In-Weapons System provide our self protection. Also not forgotten is all the communications and electronic gear that keep everything operating in sync. These systems are currently being maintained by the people on the following pages. Some are outstanding techs, some just work hard, and some of the others are just here to keep us laughing and smiling. During this deployment we lost some valued talent and gained new people with fresh ideas: fr om our department head to our lowest seaman we maintained our tactical edge and managed to still have fun. These are the people who worked hard, played hard and made it all happen... ' SCJ - MICHAEL DEBENEDETTI ' V COMBAT SYSTEMS OFFICER •I 26
