My Apologies
To those who have
Sent their names and additional information that I have not
added yet.
The project has become very large and even though I work on it almost every day, it is impossible for me to keep up.
I will continue to add the names and information as quickly as I can.

Thank You All

". . . Chief do we have an unscrambler?
This message is screwed up and it's from us. "

The men of CR Division are responsible for handling
an average of 1200 messages a day, and sometimes
as many as 2000! The are responsible for the
transmission and reception of all electrical
communications. In addition the message
processing center serves as a relay station to
smaller ships in company with INDY. Their
procedures include circuit operation, internal
and external routing of messages, and reproduction
of messages for over the counter delivery.
