Stephenson RM2 The 140 officers and men, ship's company and flag allowance combined, of CR Division provide radio communications that link the fleet commander and the flagship with the rest of the world. These men operate sophisticated equipment that provides a continuous stream of information to and from higher and lower echelons of command. The division is comprised of Radiomen, Communications Yeomen, and Data Systems Technicians who handle such diverse assignments as teletype circuit operator, transmitter operator, circuit, and system controllers. Not the least of their assignments is the operation and maintenance of a computerized Message Processing and Distribution System. This prototype system provides a means for rapid message handling within the flagship and is the only such system in the fleet today. There are eight communication spaces on the ship. The hulo of operations is the Main Com- munications Center. It is here that hundreds of messages are transmitted and received daily and that instant communications link the flagship with headquarters ashore and other commanders and ships in the SEVENTH Fleet. The CR Division is organized into watch sections to insure top talent is on the job twenty-four hours a day providing vital communications at-sea and in-port. These men prove daily that Communications is the Voice of Command .
