COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT CR and CS DIVISICN The communications department is responsible for send- ing and receiving, as well as editing, messagesg but the duties and responsibilities do not stop there. The equipment to be maintained, the care and operation of the radio gear, requires technicians in the increasingly complex electronic controls necessary to Naval Operations. There is no longer the old requirement for radiomen and electronic technicians to merely maintain radio communi- cations: the field has increased to include automatically controlled messages, coding devices, and control of specific weapons. From the visual signals of flashing light and semaphore flags to the most modern, complicated communications devices, we are organizcd to aid in operational exercises for training or comhat readiness. Though we are a fairly new department in the ship, our mission is old as Naval Science and Tactics. Our motto: You write it. We send it. LCDR Shelly ENS O'Conner
