Their work on this equipment impacts the mission of PRIN CETON and the lives ofthe crew. F rom the OOD standing watch on the bridge to the Sailor calling his parents on the telephone, CE division is there. EMO has a laptop and he's not afraid to use it!

A .A . X 'K . . fk - . A - . .. . 1. I if A AQ, Xp . ff CF Division I CF01 fspn CFOI operates and maintains the ANXSPY IB Radar-Weaponis System on board the USS PRINCETON. Jobs range from maintaining the cooling systems and LP airfdehydrator systems, to operating the RSC fRadar Systems Controllerj console which tells the SPY Weapons System where and how to search for and track targets. The conditions where we operate change hourly, so all RSC operators are very dynamic in how they control the radar to provide the best picture possible for CIC. We also maintain the Transmitters, RF Amplifiers, High Voltage Power Supplies, Signal Processor, and Arrays for the SPY Weapons System. All of these sub-systems are very delicate and require highly trained and dedicated sailors who have a great respect for high voltage and precise tolerances. CF02 KFCSXOR Tsy CF02 work center, commonly known as the FCSXORTS work center is responsible for several systems vital to the mission of USS PRINCETON. Most visible and identifiable portion ofthe work center's equipment is the four MK 99 FCS Illuminators used for terminal guidance of SM2 missiles. Though important, they are by no means the most important pieces of equipment maintained by the work center. The CF02 work center has the sole responsibility of maintaining the four Mk 84 4O0Hz converters, which provide the 4OOHz power needed by almost all combat system equipment on board. The fmal component ofthe CF02 work center is the ORTS system. The acronym stands for Operational Readiness Test System. As the name suggests it is a system used to test the various components the Aegis weapon system. It also has the capacity to nm fault isolation tests to assist with the technicians troubleshooting of supported equipment. CF03 KCOMP UTERQ CF03 is the computer work center. The basic goal ofthe computer center is to connect the various sensors and equipment ofthe AEGIS system to the C8LD CCommand 8a Controlj system controlling combat. We run the WCS CWeapons Control Systemj, which solve the fire control problem and ensures ordnance is on target. The ADS CAEGIS Display Systemj ensures that CIC fCombat Information Centerj receives the information needed to decide friend or foe, and prioritizes engagements. Finally, SPY program control is run from here, to keep the SPY radar running in top form. CF04 runs and operates a variety of equipment ranging from legacy consoles in CIC, video switching units, and even cooling vital electronic systems which are pertinent to the ships mission and her crew Our equipment is ofthe highest caliber and has been IOOM operational since we departed on deployment. The technicians within CFO4 have held a high standard of excellence. We are the smallest ofthe four work centers in CF division and arguably the most productive. Most of our gear displays some ofthe most vital information the ship needs to operate on. Without this work center, PRINCETON cannot complete her 1T11SS1OI1. 36 CF04 KDISPLAIQ I
