CR Division, consisting of Flag allowance and ship's company radiomen,
communications yeomen and data 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.
With its operational center in Main Communications, CR Division, 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 computerized Message Processing and Distribution System (MPDS) -
a big help in handling the large volume of message traffic. Radiomen and
communications yeomen operate voice and teletype cricuits, operate transmitters and
monitor circuit control systems.
