' 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. -
