Lake Champlain (CVS 39) - Naval Cruise Book

Although huddled beneath tons of superstructure, no one on the ship knows more of what is happening around us than the men of OI Division. Without seeinglit, they can guide an S217 to a perfect landing approach. They will interpret a series of con- fusing blips and noises and come up with the exact location of a bogie. OI demands a strange existence of its men. They live in a world of skunks, fish. wolves, bloodhounds. eagles and rats. They communicate with each other by Writing backwards on huge plates of plexiglass. But weird as their existence may be, it is invaluable. Ol is truly the eyes and ears of the Champ.
