They can useew a radar further away than that radar can msec RANGER. They can identify the radar type, the platform on which it is installed and the bearing from RANGER to the radar. They can determine all this without RANGER giving away her position by transmitting anything. This is called passive M '1 electronic warfare support measured KESMJ, and is a key early warning . -'iifqn indicator when Bears, or other Soviet units are in the area. r ln the event of hostilities. they will see the fire control and homing 5 ' T.

TRIKE Strike Operations serves as RANGER's primary interface between Commander Carrier Group One, Commander Destroyer Squadron Seven, Carrier Airwing Two, and the ship in scheduling battle group functions during at sea periods. The daily Green Sheet and Air Plan originated in Strike Ops. During air operations Strike Ops coordinates with Air, Ops, CIC, and the Air Department to ensure that air sorties are managed on a real time basis to meet the requirements of the combined battle group warfare commanders. In support of the airwing, Strike Ops performs weaponeering of the ordnance carried by RANGER. This involves determining what ordnance should be carried by the airwing aircraft and in the case where a specific target is to be attackedg determining what ordnance will best be employed to take out the target. ln short, if you're looking for the the Gouge stop by the red door on the 03 level.
