LTJG Kennedy Combat Information Center ICICQ is the nerve center for virtually all ship'S operations including Naval Gunfire Support, Anti-Submarine Warfare, Anti-Air Warfare, and Navigation. CIC is run by the Radarmen of OI Division. Throughout the deployment, Radarmen were the key that unlocked the vast firepower of the ship which performed magnificently in the War Zone. In CIC the position of the ship and that of the enemy areconstantly plotted, thus en- abling the ship to rain immediate fire on target. In the Mekong Delta CIC'S gunfire support team Was a major factor in generating performance which caused the ship to be rescheduled to that same demanding assignment. When the call Went out for the best of the fleet to be sent to Korean Waters during the recent crisis involving the downing of a U.S. NAVY aircraft, LYNDE MCCORMICK was there. Radarmen put forth their utmost while scanning their radar scopes for hostile aircraft and ships which might threaten the carrier task force. Intercept aircraft, ready to pounce on potential attackers, were controlled With confidence by the OI Division air controllers. Since the services of the radarmen are in such demand, they must normally stand a minimum of 12 hours of Watch a day While the ship is underway. The radarman doesn't get extra pay for the long hours, but he does get the satis- faction of being a major contributor to the combat effectiveness of LYNDE MCCORMICK.
