5 O 0 0 0 lcdr powell cic officer UH dHHSl0H A green glow drifts across the faces of the ship's radarmen as the radar scopes reflect their never- ending sweeps. Red-lined status boards and announcements break the darkness and silence of the room, announcing the closing position of an enemy aircraft or bogey. This is the ship's Combat lnformation Centar. CIC collects tactical information from radio nets, intelligence and visual reports, and radar. The staff then displays the information on status boards and makes vertical plots which are evalutated by the Operations Officer and the CIC Officer. The evaluated information is then disseminated to the bridge, flag bridge, and ships in company via radio nets and flashing light. If the final evaluation warrants combat retaliation, the Combat Air Patrol launches interceptor fighters, General Quarters is sounded, and the destroyers and support ships are positioned into anti-submarine ancl anti-air screens and formations. The men of LEXlNGTON'S Ol Division are faithful watchdogs who protect the ship and the lives of the crew. radar lcdr cecil If garcia H 49 T It fischer
