Iv 9 li L, 5, V , 1 r ta' Operations Division The Operations Division, occasionally cavorting under the mis-nomers of clean livers and GCT wizards are responsible for navigation, communica- tions, and operational administration aboard the ship. These tasks are divided among QM's, RD's, RM'S, PN's, ET's, ad one TE. Quartermasters are in charge of visiual commu- nications on the bridge and are known as uskivvy wavers . You could probably find more good cloth in a Bikini bathing suit than in the entire KNAPP Hag-bag, but the signal men make the best of it. The Radarmen, better known as the scope dopesi' are usually found in the dark, in a space called the Combat Information Center where one always hears - blonde and sweet or blonde and straight. Garbled? Not on my watch, sirv, is a familiar cry in the electrical jungle known as Main Radio. KNAPP well posted on all official communi- cations and a pretty good coverage of stateside news when we are steaming, which is a very common oc. curence for the KNAPP. Some of our talent hides back aft but are called at various times during the day or night to maintain or repair some of our modern, up-to-date electronic equipment. These men, sometimes considered magi. cians, are really our Electronic Technicians. QDarn handy to have aroundl. And then of course, if you want to ship over for another 4 or 6, see a Yeoman - amidst his paper Work trying to Hnd the latest DesLant Instruction inviting you all to be career men - they'll Hnd it, just give them time. QFine gang to have on your side tho! ! Il The real spark to the Operations Gang was our usual and routine G. It usually meant Reveille to the gang - but they would answer the call!
