Missiles, big six inch guns and the almost-as-big five inch guns, a system for every kind of combat situation. Versatility. But the Weapons Department performs many other functions, ,They keep up the ship's body - her hull, her topside areas, her broad teak deck, they tend to her lines and chains, her anchors and the giant fenders, they keep her boa ts, running the myriad errands nec- essary to keep a cruiser moving: carry sailors, carry parts, carry mail, carry the Captain, even when the 0 seas and wind carry the boat suddenly against the ladder and a swell drowns the platform and the gun- wale catches on the fender, up at 0300 to rig, lower, wipe down, and carry everything.

QPE1-QATIQNS DEPARTME Throughout the deployment, while the task group ranged across the Mediterranean,TOPEKA had hundreds of committments and the complex requirements ofa large combatant to meet. These include everthing from being in the right place at the right time for a sched- uled exercise, to maintaining and making use of the many electronic equipments that are installed on board, to keeping up to date the hun- dreds of publications that govern the ship's operational and readiness requirements. And for these and other important reasons, the Ope' erations Department is cohstantly busy. During normal operations, as TOPEKA moves across the sea, the surface searchgradar in combat information center picks up a contact many minutes before even the perched lookouts could possibly spot it. As the contact moves across the radar scope, it is plotted and its course and speed and how close it will pass to us is determined. Now the Officer of the Deck on the bridge knows what to expect, and where to look for the contact, and he can intelligently iudge whether no not that contact will interfere with safe navigation of the ship and whether or not he will have to take action. And then, as the ship appears, it turns out to be a Russian mer chant vessel. What is the correct reporting procedure? Should it be photographed or investigated? Operations will know. And anti-air or submarine warfare: Operations has the radars and sonar equipment to enable TOPEKA to fulfill her mission in these areas and to coor- dinate her weapons systems with her detection and evaluation devices. Thus does the Operations Department bring to bear the many and varied warship capabilities of TOPEKA, Cdr L A I-lamllton Lcdr J E IVIcCue Lt RD Boyle Operations Officer Combat information Center Officer Electronics Material Officer Assistant CIC Officer Electronics Warfare Officer Assistant CIC Officer Lt, P.J.

And so the modern fleets are provided with the most up to date sets of charts and navigational publications as pos- sible, which describe the manifold dangers and the great variety of navigational aids that preserve the sailor from them. These pub- lications are up dated as often as every day, by message, and as radically as-eliminating an entire chart that has been invalidated by the latest in oceanographic research and discoveries. The task of organizing and co-ordinating this vast amount of material is the Navigator's ,responsibility and it is he and the Quartermasters under him that sift every day to extract and utilize every known fact about the waters through which TOPEKA passes. And while underway,.the ship's position is fixed by radar, or by sighting vis- ual navigation aids,'or',-, as mariners far at sea have always done, by shooting the evening or morning stars. Since man first went to sea, ships have run aground and broken apart on reefs because of the smallest miscalculation in navigation. With this risk always pres ent, responsibility is precision: Navigator Assvt Navi gator Lt. Arnold J. Case N Division Oftider Ltjg. James G. Brady S.E. I-Ialko, QlVlSNg J.I.. Gaddy, SN, W.L.

Of course it all starts with policy, made for ships by the Navy and made for crews by the Captain and carried out to the smallest detail by the Executive Officer. And, of course, all pol- icies are built on paper. Thus, Executive Department, X Division, keeps typewriters and file cabinets moving, working, as the organi zation roles onward.,There are personnel records, ship's instruc- tions, schedules, memorandums, public affairs matters, and thou- sands of letters that must be written, printed, distributed. Each man's Navy lite is all on paper: His experience, his awards, his progress, his advancements, his background, his requests are all kept track of, and his mail is received, treated with the same stan- dards as it is at home. And that function alone seems really the most important to the sailor. Chaplain Personnel Officer Lcdr. E.F. Fallon Lt. J.A. Hendry Legal Officer Ens. A.S. Boston Public Affairs Officer Ltjg. J.l-I.

And herein lies the demanding task ofthe Supply Department. At some time, every piece of TOPEKA equipment will have a difficulty of one kind or another. A Radar in Combat Informa- tion Center fails right in the middle of a critical situation and Supply must be able to put its hands on the needed tube quickly and without difficulty, a small part of the shell casing extractor mechanism in a five inch gun mount breaks and must be replaced, it is a rarely re- placed part and one must be tracked down, The crew must be fed three times a day, and, of course, they must be paid. Not a TOPEKA sailor's day goes by but he in some way comes into direct contact with the Supply Department and its many functions. And each func- tion must be planned, down to the desserts, of a meal to be served months into deployment, to what tubes and capacitors are known, through years of experience, to be the ones that most frequently go out. And there is a strict budget to be adhered to and so each pur- chase must be wisely chosen, for at the end of the money, TOPEKA will have to do without. And this situation a warship cannot afford to slip into, for combat readiness on the line is a function' of her material condition. This, obviously, is alcritical responsibility. Sales Officer Ltjg..

She must keep in touch with the Atlantic Fleet High Command and she must keep in touch with the Task Group commander so that his ships may be deployed intelligently and ef- ficiently. Keeping constantly in touch is the key to Naval co-ordina- tion and maximum effectiveness. All this is fairly obvious. But com munications' iob of keeping TOPEKA in touch with the outside Navy world is often taken for granted. lt is assumed that when the Cap- tain picks up a phone on the tactical circuit that he will be able to hear and be heard. And it is Communications' iob to allow that as- sumption be made by the Admiral, or the Captain, or the Officer of the Deck when use of a circuit or a .frequency is urgent. Urgency is the essential challenge to a warship, and may never exist for the ship that is out of touch, even for a mere minute, in a critical situation. .. 90 l UNICATIQNS Communications Officer Lt.

As such he andlhis staff of fourteen officers and fifty nine enlisted men supervise the activities of one half of the carrier attack force operating in that area. This task group consists of one aircraft carrier, one cruiser, and seven destroyers. ln addition to planning and co-ordinating the operations of this mighty force, Rear- Admiral Dacey and his staff continue to administer the affairs of the ships assigned to Cruiser-Destroyer FLOTILLA TWELVE homeported in Norfolk, Virginia. Commander Task Group Sixty Point Two is also the Anti-SubmarineiWarfare deputy for Task Force Sixty, and the reviewing authority for all legal matters 'con- cerning destroyers operating in the Mediterranean. Finally, he and- his staff co-ordinate the port visits of the task group ships, and Rear Admiral Daceyfrequently assumes the duties of Senior Of- ficer Present Afloat during such visits. It is easy to see then that the responsibilities of Rear Admiral Dacey and his staff are not only demanding, but cover a wide scope of activities. , , --' -1. .,..-........ ......
