OE Division is a technical repair division which repairs anbd maintains the electronics equipment installed onboard Oklahoma City with the exception of missile gunnery systems.  The radar search, navigation and radio equipment for ship operations, as well as the radio equipment needed by Commander Seventh Fleet, make up the majority specifically repaired by the ship's ET's.
With a large and continually changing electronic package, the ETs are required to master new circuits and new techniques, yet maintain the older equipment at optimum performance levels.  Preventive maintenance, with close cooperation between equipment operators and repair technicians, helps keep the equipment "on the line."
