CS DIVISION II ' CR Division is the new era in cuniiminicaliuiis, ihcn C S Division is the traditional. With radio communications being state-of-the art, you would think the older, traditional forms of communicating would be outdated. That could not be farther from the truth in CS Division. CS Division utilizes timeless techniques in communicating with other ships. Using hand held flags or lights the Sigs (iang can send messages to ships with semaphore, a visual a phabet depicted by placing the left and right arms in a number of positions. The use of flag hoists is another of the tricks of their trade. By raising flags or pennants the Signalmen can send a coded message or simply indicate a particular shipboard evo- lution, such as anchoring or flight operations. Another form of isual communications employed by CS Division is the flashing light. A series of long and short flashes of light utilizes Morse Code, and can quickly send a message to another ship. Signal- men can communicate with anybody in the world by using in- ternational and allied codes. LT Sullivan is the boss in the division, with .SMC(SW Arceneau.x and SMI Reid sending the right signals to the rest of the troops in CS Division.
