I The men of the operations intelligence division are Vitally concerned with the veryreason for VESOLE's existence. These men man and maintain the compli- cated radar gear that allows us to fulfill our mission of early detection and evaluation of threatening enemy air and surface raids. As well, CIC is invaluable in its assistance to the OOD during tight maneuvering situa- tions. During ASW, CIC assists the conning officer and Sonar plot to evaluate the actions of the subsurface elflemy. Their proficiency was the watchword of the pickets in the Sixth Fleet. The electronics technicians did an outstanding job of .keeping our vital electronics gear in action at the critical times. Without their devotion to getting the job dope we might not have amassed sucha favorable reput- ation for reliability with the Sixth Fleet. m First row: Filkinsg Killamg Curlg Boone.

Communications - vital link of all armed services... and VESOLE was fortunate to have one of the hardest working and best Comm teams in the Sixth Fleet. Since they were on port and starboard watche s for the majority of the cruise, if not all, their excellence speaks well for their stam- ina. VESOLE's communications effort has been outstanding.
