oordinating repair schedules sometimes required communications
over short distances. Here is a late afternoon photo
of two of the Tidewater crew in Naples harbor, signaling
to another ship the schedule for repair work, which
would take place later in the week. Operating the light
shutter equipment is Bill Blackstock, SM1 and at his
right holding the message from R3 Division's electrical
repair officer is J. Wright, RD3. Both sailors worked
in O Division which included the Communications Spaces,
CIC, Navigational and Ship Control Areas.
