The Operations Department, playing a vital role in the ship's mission, is comprised of men whose skills are highly technical ,and at times very complicated. The Quartermasters are responsible for determining courses and speeds to destinations and maintain charts. Establishing communications with other ships by means of visual signals is the job- of our ever ready Signalmen, while our Radiomen are responsible for long range communications via teletype and Morse Code. Our Radarmen, sometimes referred to as scope dopes , perform the tedious job of tracking and evaluating the ships and aircraft operating in the ship's vicinity and making recommendations as to courses and speeds to be used. Backing these men up with their storehouse of technical knowledge, our Electronics Technicians are constantly working to maintain the readiness of all electronic gear, adjusting equipment to obtain optimum performance and completely overhauling gear when necessary. ill Z le.
