The men of X Division-always leading the grape- vine ot shipboard or tleetwide scuttlebutt-pass on their scoops to the rest ot the crew via the plan of the day, Champ newspaper, and the many notices and instruc- tions which they prepare and distribute about the ship. The division, serving as the Executive OHicer's staff, is under the direct supervision of the Administra- tive Assistant, LTIG I. D. Adams. It has a complement of 44 men in ratings such as yeoman, personnel man, lithographer and journalist. They work out of more than a dozen different spaces, including the Post Office, Personnel Office, Captain's Oitice, I ci E, and Print Shop. Although often called the racketeers they'll swear they work harder than anyone on the ship. And it you doubt them, ask the Chaplain-he's in X Division too, you know!

' Qperations Soup and nuts are specialties of the Supply Department-but it seems that everything in between falls into the domain of Operations. The responsibilities of the Operations Department are tremendous. Ship's movements, flight schedules and patterns, intelligence reports, radio and visual communications, aerial and shipboard photography, are all handled by one of the six divisions which form the Big O. There are 165 men in the department, which is headed by CDR Robert F. Regan. As a team, they keep the ship organized into an efficient fighting unit. There's a green E on every door in the department showing how Well the job is done. -
