OPERATIONS Operations Department, headed by CDR David C. HOLMES, is normally concerned with the operational readiness of the ship. This is the case in peacetime, as Well as under combat conditions. In this department the primary functions include communications, intelligence, and electronics Work. The radars and other tactical detection devices come under its cognizance. In the ship's contacts with other military facilities the Ops Department plays an important role, being concerned with planning and coordinating, as Well as with communications. Another of the depart1nent's jobs is photography. It was necessary to take many pictures on the cruise, and Ops was called on for the job. The study, observation, and prediction of the Weather as it affects the ship are also classified under Operations Department functions.

Look around and decide who has the biggest racket aboard ship. About nine men in ten will conclude that this distinction belongs to the Yo-Yo's. For the Administrative Department, headed by Commander ALLEY, is primarily composed of Yeomen and Personnelmen. It is not, however, a racket, as will be stoutly maintained by all who work in the X Division. The two most obvious locations for the Yeomen are the Captain's Office and the Personnel Office. In the first are handled all official correspondence, officers' records, and ship's internal organizational logs. The Personnel Office is in charge of all the enlisted records, request chits, and I.D. and liberty cards. The Chaplain and his office, and the Legal Officer are also part of HX . They are available for help and consultation at any time, and are present at Captain's Masts and other legal functions. Anyone interested in furthering his education should consult the Train- ing Office for details.
