My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.
This project has become
very large and 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
For Your Support

"Can you have an ET come and fix this radar?"
OE is the home of the electronic wizards of INDY.
This division is tasked with maintaining the ship's
intricate electronic systems. The electronics
technicians of OE Division are trouble-shooters
who locate and repair any problem which may
develop in any one of the nearly five hundred
pieces of major electronic equipment, including
the important ship's entertainment TV system.
The range of responsibility of OE Division's
technicians extends from the most basic switch
to a multitude of complex and highly advanced
electronic systems and device. Divisional training
and personal study helps the technicians keep
abreast of the current developments in the
rapidly expanding electronics field.

LCDR Charles D. Arnold, USN (Ret)
After 3-1/2 years in the Navy,Indy
was my first shipboard sea duty.
Not sure that I fully appreciated
all that it was (I got out in
August 62); but, when I re-upped
in October 62, I understood that
Indy had "done me good"! |

Have told many young men
contemplating the military,
that there is no duty in any service
quite like duty aboard an aircraft
carrier. In spite of all of the
grumbling, and hard work.
I look back on that time with a great
deal of pride and satisfaction. |
