Likens C S D ' ' ' Line of sight, short-range communications is the succinct definition of the job assigned to the Signals Division. By the flash of a light, fast moving semaphore flags, or a series of pennants high on the mast, the men of CS Division exchange information with our task force companions. It is their duty to ensure that other ships operating near RANGER are fully aware to our intentions and that we know their plans. When the ship is inport, the Skivvy Wavers' are tasked with dressing the ship or hangar bay when RANGER hosts a special event. Early the day before, and long into the night, one will Gnd a Signalman riding high on a forklift, streaming the many colorful flags that enhance the setting for a Change of Command or other functions. RANGER's Signal Gang is tmly deserving of the title Top Flags. This is why the winning of the communications efficiency green C was a matter of routine to them. SM3 P. Maestas SM3 D. Redman SMSN J.
