Other ship or aircraft radars can be detected further away than those radars can see RANGER. EWS then identiljf the radar type and its associated platform. lf a fire con- trol or missile homing radar is iden- tified, they will warn the ship of im- pending attack, and through the use of electronic Iies , deceive enemy weapons into believing that RANGER is somewhere else.

OT Division is the home of RANG- ER'S ASW expertise. It is responsi- ble for control and tactical support ofall Air Wing ASW aircraH. Manned by ASW Watch Officers with VP and VS backgrounds, the module works closely with the men of the A W and DP ratings to maximize the effective- ness ofRAl'lGER 'S muscle. Like all of the CIC modules, the ASW module is dependent upon the capabilities of the embarked aircraH and crews. The officers and men of VS-58 and HS-14 complete RANGER 'S ASW team. Through numerous exercises and cruises, this team has honed its skills in preparation for its time on the cutting edge. We 're here and we 're ready! All 11' bf Q43 K OSSH Swanson, P.

OP Division is divided into two work centers -the main Photo Lab and the Intelligence Lab. While at sea, both operate around the clock in support of RANGER, embarked staffs and the Air Wing. Located on the third deck, the main lab employs 16 of the divi- sion 's 21 personnel. Its responsibil- ities include: photographic support of industrial and public affairs re- quirements, studio portraits, and processing film and prints. However, most ofthe work fulfills public affairs requirements. The Intelligence Photo Lab, located in CVIC, sup- ports all intelligence and reconnais- sance requirements for RA NGER, the embarked staffs and the Air Wing. Manned by only five Photomates, the CVIC Lab produces photographs from film used during flight mis- sions. This includes film from pilot- held cameras as well as 1000-foot rolls of reconnaissance film from cameras mounted on the F-I4 air- craft. During WESTPAC '87, the com- bined efiorts from both labs resulted in more than 100,000 pictures, many of which have been used in this book. OP DI WSI O 'T 'dv '23 'i -mu wg Hull -6- C W02 Martin, G.
