Together they form a network of communications with person- nel trained to meet any operating condition or emergency. Messages received from other nerve centers aboard the ship are converted into electronic pulses in Radio Central for one of several auxili- ary radio rooms aboardj and relayed as appro- priate. This section of the Department handles a considerable volume of message traffic on any given day, especially on those rare occasions when Lex joins up with other fleet units. There are a number of radio circuits to be maintained by the radio.men,1but their responsi- bilities do not stop there. In addition, radio tele- phone, radio teletype and radio telegraph facili- ties must be manned, as well as cryptographic equipment, antennas, transmitters and receivers By providing facilities for the crew s emergency ship to shore calls, and obtaining radio news copy for the ship s newspaper and broadcasting facilities when on cruises, CR contributes sig nificantly to morale CS men are qualified on flag ho1sts,flash1ng light and semaphore, such skills must be main tained at a high level, for in times of emergency, these could be the onbz means of communications Personnel of both Divisions are required to stand watches, both in port and underway,Where their often lonely posts would be the vital spots for transmitting or receiving an important mes sage or relaying a critical signal to other units All CR and CS men are justly proud of their functions and the1r contribution to maintain mg CVS 16 s top fhght communications reputa tion Lexington communzeates zn a number 0 ways At left, a radzoman copzes a CW message Right, above, messages are transmzttea' by flashzng hgh! from the Szgna!
