p E R A T I N S COMMANDER lOHN G. baker ' f Operations C . Officer Winthrop Mass. t ■ bC ( THE EYES AND EARS OF ALL SHIPS Any officer looking for a job with a built-in headaclie miglit try this one on for size. Within this department there are grouped more technical skills than any other department. Here every man is a trained tech- nician, a specialist at his trade, for here if you flub your dub it could mean disaster. Made up of six divisions — Combat Information, Air Intelligence, Aerology, Air Operations, Communications, and Electronics — the clock never moves but what all the many sta- tions are manned. With an officer at the head of each division their duties encompass such responsibilities as visual com- munications, electronics, air search, electronic exterior com- munications, analysis and dissimination of intelligence in- formation, photographic services, and the preparation of the mountains of paper work involved in such jobs. And last but by no means least, the post office. Although the PO has little to do with the immediate success of an operation it will forever remain the morale center of all ships. And is that important? Does a plane need a pilot? So it goes without saying that so long as the Navy goes down to the sea in ships. there will have to be Operations Departments aboard. And they will have to be manned by competent officers at the helm and skilled technicians turning the knobs. Herein we have a prize crop aboard the Kenneth Whiting. U
