OI ombat Information Center QCICJ is the domain of the Operations Specialists and Electronic Warfare Specialists - the most varied group of demented characters one could possibly meet. The guys in combat may have their quirks, but when it comes to getting the job done, they can't be beat. Just as the name implies CIC is the operational nerve-center of the ship. Their job is to collect, dis- play, evaluate, and dissemi- nate information on air and surface contacts, naviga- tion, helo operations, exer- P id Division cises, and intelligence to the bridge, the tactical action officer, and other ships. In CIC, everyone has an assigned task which when combined all add up to the big picture needed for tactical decision making. OI Division is led by Lqg Scott 0'Connor and OSCS Phil Soto. ,Z-f, yf Front: OS2 Moe, OSSH Hedofh OS1 Trejo, OSSIY Wicker, O OSSIY Cruz.
