The Operations Communications Division is composed of Radiomen and Si u receiving of messages via radioteletype is the primary job of the Radiomen. Twenty-four hours a day Radio Central is manned and filled with the sound of teletypewriters banging out messages concerning UNREP re- quirements, rendezvous times and locations, storm warnings, schedule changes, Z-grams from the CNOI personal correspondence to and from crew members and other items of command interest that require faster delivery time than can be achieved by normal mailing senfices. Merely sending and receiving messages is nO! the whole sto 1 th ' ry ese messages must be logged, filed and routed to the proper person for action, telefYPe5 must be repaired, equipment tuned, and voice radio communications must be maintained.

The Signalmen of OC Division handle all visual communications for the WHITE PLAINS. Flashing light, semaphore and signal flags are means used to visually talk from one ship to another. Information can range from tactical maneuvers and last-minute UNREP items to how many films ya got , and helping someone on board talk to a friend or relative on another vessel. When not actually flashing lights and waving flags, the Signalmen devote their hours to painting, polishing brass, and sweeping up stack soot, making the Signal Bridge one of p'- -f 4.16-,if'V',-1:9 'C '7 -af-2 , '.l, 'QI' ,im ., ,,, M-in g , , .

The Ol Division men who work here provide information to assist the Conn in maneuvering the ship well and safely. It is their job to maintain an up-to-the-minute plot on all forces in the area-friendly and unknown, to supply tactical information on these ships-course, speed, closest point of approach, etc-and make recommendations which might help the conning officer keep the ship in one piece. Additionally, CIC uses radio-telephones to keep in contact with other ships. OI Division's Dirty Dozen maintains its own logs, records, charts, and schedules of ships- why and where they are at any time. But the primary mission of these radarmen is tactical information. To stay on their toes and permit the bridge to walk on with the honors. XX A..

The Hydraulic Gang maintains all the equipment used to move or transfer cargo-winches, elevators, con- veyors, sliding blocks, forklifts, and pallet jacks. The high-pressure air system is also under its care. The I.C.E. C-ang, as its name implies, is charged with the Operation and maintenance of all machinery that is Powered by an internal combustion engine-ship's boats, emergency diesel generator, and P-250 pumps. It also maintains the ship's heating system, JP-5 system, and most ofthe galley and laundry equipment. The AC 81 R or Reefer Gang maintains the cargo reefer units, ship's reefer units, air conditioning systems, drink- ing fountains, ice makers, ice cream machine, small ree- fer units, and the x-ray and film processing tank.

Their realm reaches from stem to stern. Their work covers more: line handling, ship'g boats cargo handling, anchoring and mooring the shipl helmsman, lee helmsman, lookouts, gun mounts, and an unending cycle of cleaning, chipping, and painting the ship. For the Deck Seaman, the work is hard and work- day is long. At sea he often has but the warm feeling of the sun on his back and the sweat on his brow as a reward for a job well done. ln port, it is not unusual to see him working long after the rest of the crew has gone on liberty, but, when he does get a chance to hit the beach, he makes up for the time lost by his late start. One fact cannot be overlooked: from Boatswain's Mate First Class to Seaman Recruit, Deck De- partment is a team-hard-working, dedicated, and professional. just ask a man on Deck, he'll tell you. l l 1 2 5 1 fi 5 13 i 1 ,l 1 I 1 --in K D k WCM Charles L Plsul ec Department Yeome -SN M' , n. :ke Peters and YN3 lim Kemmis ,SO Shipk Bmmwm S XXX 992.

Its primary mission is to be custodian of more than 30,000 line items: repair parts, consumables, chilled and frozen foods, dry provisions, and anything else stowed in the ship's five cargo holds. Being custodian of these items means more than just watching them. These items must be broken out, palletized, and staged for delivery ,... and when it comes time to replenish our own stocks, S-2 controls the cargo as it is brought on board, insuring that all the items are channeled to the proper storage locations. Daily activity, when not involved in loading or UNREP preparation, consists of making issues to our own ship and processing and stowing various repair parts that arrive via parcel post. Daily upkeep and main- tenance done by S-2 personnel is also important to insure that the holds, after cargo handling area, and main deck storage areas are kept clean and well pre- served.

When WHITE PLAINS is not deployed or participating in a fleet exercise, the birds, gear, and people of the de- tachment fly south to their nest in the sun at Naval Air Station, Imperial Beach, California. When embarked on the ship, the detachment stays busy shuttling cargo and people to the ships and shore installations WHITE PLAINS replen- ishes. with each line swing the detachment seems to become more important as more goods are transferred bv helo. Not all of the flights made by the helos of Det 101 are for other units. The detachment provides service to the men of WHITE PLAINS also. The helos have carried crew members to swim calls in Viet Nam, liberty excursions in Baguio, Corregidor, and Manila and made mail runs to Danang when we were on the Line. In addition, a helo is always ready to act as a recovery craft in event of a man overboard. The men of the detachment do their own administrative work and their ' on the helicopters and supporting own maintenance and PMS checks gear, to ensure that the birds will fly when needed. rv-an 'fy -1 LJ 2 I , . 1 f x .1- X.: I X LCDR john S.Iones Detach ment Officer L f if FIRST R - ' ' - LUG ChOYV AMS3 Michael Gallion, ADF C.B.
