OP Photographic services, ranging from a simple lD card photo to complex aerial reconnaissance photography for the Carrier Intelligence Center, are provided by OP Divi- sion. Nimitz photographers covered the visits of very impor- tant people from Columbia, Venezuela and Honduras dur- ing the Caribbean Swing portion of this deployment and visitors from all over the Mediterranean, including Presi- dent Amin Gemayel of Lebanon. Services provided included color and black 81 white still photography, to be used for reports, remembrances of im- portant events, news releases, and records of ship's activi- ties. Also slides of all types were used for briefings, training and this cruisebook. Even an occasional 16mm motion picture was utilized for instrumentation or informational purposes. The photographers of OP Division maintain a make it happen attitude and are proud to be part of the best photo lab in the fleet and the Nimitz Team. CWO2 J.P. Kiser PHC GR. Bennett PHC T.S.
