My Apologies
To those who have
Sent their names and additional information that I have not

U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CVA-62
Operations Department

"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.
