The Texas Crew Unlike cruisers before her, TEXAS was designed from the ground up to sup- port the new Combat Systems Organizationn in which departmental responsi- bilities differ somewhat from the traditional shipboard organization. TEXAS is organized into four major departments: Combat Systems, Engineering, Opera- tions, and Supply in addition to two smaller departments: Medical and Naviga- tion. TEXAS' mission is to operate independently, or in company with strike, anti- submarine, air, surface, or amphibious forces, against all possible submarine, air, surface threats, or land-based threats. To accomplish this task TEXAS employs a fully integrated Combat System Suite utilizing the latest technology in comput- ers, weapon systems, sensors, and command and control equipment. To propel TEXAS through the water at speeds in excess of thirty knots, the engineering spaces house two nuclear fission reactors which power a set of geared turbines and twin screws. This type of propulsion gives her the added high speed endurance and staying power which is vital to our modern Navy. TEXAS has a compliment of over 45 officers and 540 enlisted men.
