CR Division, consisting of Flag

systems technicians, provides Commander Seventh Fleet with a vital
communications link to any geographical location in the world.
More importantly, these men and the complex array of equipment they
operate are the Voice of the Command.

supervised by a Communications Watch Officer and Chief of the Watch,
processes a steady flow of messages between the fleet commander and his
subordinate units. Data systems technicans maintain a sophisticated
