E 2 I V1 pq OEC Division is comprised of highly skilled techni- cians from the ET and IC ratings. These men are responsible for repairing and maintaining RANGER 's Communications and Weather suites, ship's enter- tainment and training closed circuit TV network, closed circuit surveillance system and the secure pi- lot briefing system. Ensuring RANGER is always ready to meet every communications task is a unique and complex challenge. Maintaining over 200 major pieces of equipment, the ETs from OEC are some of the finest in the fleet and are dedicated to communi- cations excellence. The winning combination of ETS and RMS leaves no doubt why RANGER won COMIYA- VAIRPAC 's Green C award for excellence in com- munications. When it comes to closed circuit TV and system distribution networks, the ICs are King of Kings. With over 700 TVs installed throughout the ship, the division ensures that the most current pro- gramming materials provided by the Public Affairs Office or local broadcasting networks is distributed throughout the ship with the highest degree of qual- ity possible. The ship 's surveillance system provides key personnel in strategic locations with the most up to date information for safe, effective flight oper- ations. RAlYGER's secure pilot briefing system per- mits flight crews to view the latest intelligence brief ings from their ready rooms just prior to boarding their aircraft. As one ofthe four divisions in RAlYGER's combat systems function, OEC has long enjoyed the success fostered by the CAN DO spirit that each and every man in the division possesses.

The EMO function is not unlike the five human senses, with the EMO as the brain, controlling and coordinating all the activities within the organization. OEX is similar to the central nervous system, linking all of the divisions to the supply network, provid- ing essential parts support. OEC enables the ship to hear and see the world through Radio Central and KRAN, the ship's TV station. OER acts as the ship's eyes, searching the sea and sky with radars. OED provides vital data which enables operators to smell out any possible problems before they endanger the ship. OEM gives us the capability to reach out and touch any potential threat with our defensive systems. All of this is done by dedi- cated people with a taste for adventure and the desire to excel.

OED Division is responsible for the maintenance required to keep the hun- dreds of computer systems on RANGER working properly. These systems range in size and complexity from simple desk top Zeniths to major systems like the Naval Tactical Data System INTDSJ or the Flag Data Display System KFDDSJ. OED Division is divided into four work centers. The NT DS work cen- ter is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the ship's data link sys- tem, which provdes RANGER with real time information on the tactical situa- tion in a supersonic warfare environ- ment. The Tactical Systems work cen- ter maintains the computers and pe- ripheral equipment associated with the ship 's Anti-Submarine Warfare Module. Their area of expertise also includes all Xerox 850 word processors on board RANGER. The Carrier Intelligence Cen- ter IC VIC 2 work center maintains the Naval Intelligence Processing System lNlPSl, the Tactical Air Mission Plan- ning System KTAMPSJ, and all Zenith Z- 120, Z-150 and Z-248 desk top comput- ers. The Ship 's Nontactical Automated Processing lSNAPl system work center maintains the SNAP I system, which manages millions of pieces of data re- lated to supply and maintenance. The 55 Data Systems Technicians lDSsl and 4 Aviation Anti-Submarine Warfare Technicians lAXsl must be skilled in electronics, computer mathematics and logic systems. When a display or computer does fail, all attention focus- es on the OED technicians as they at- tempt to find and repair the casualty promptly.
