Page 77 text:

DPEPRTIDN5 ? ® LOCKWOOD participated in four major exercises along with numerous Unreps, Vertreps, and individual unit trainings during the voyage. The heavy operating level forced most of the department to go on port and starboard watches to perform the duties assigned. All concerned performed in an excellent fashion enabling LOCKWOOD to perform her duties in all exercises and receive a commendation from the task group com- mander. The CIC team was always on top of tracking and plotting exercises, and the EW ' s continuously gave early warning of approaching ships and aircraft. The RM ' s had to contend with overloaded circuits and a very large num- ber of messages, both incoming and outgoing. Through- out the cruise, the ET ' s continuously kept up vital elec- tronic gear keeping the ship ready to meet all threats. The outstanding performance of the entire depart- ment made LOCKWOOD a reliable and can-do mem- ber of the task group. y n %
