[QUOTE]Originally posted by Hobbes: [QB] Well here's my explanation about divisions. On a ship it starts out with Departments. As an Electronics Warfare Technician (EW) my Department is Operations. Departments have Department Heads, ours is LT Ybarra, nicknamed Ops (think Data's job on the Enterprise). Within a Department you have Divisions. My Division is Operations:Tactical (OT). We work closely with Operation Specialists (OS) who are in Division Operations:Intelligence (OI). Each Division has a Division Officer, in my case ENS Rosenbach, who is responsible for the Division and reports to the Department Head. So basically a ship has say 6 Departments, within each Department there are several Divisions. Now to address another subject regarding squadrons and fleets. My ship is part of Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 23. DESRON 23 is part of the Third Fleet. During WWII the South Pacific Force, commanded by Vice Admiral William Halsey, became the Third Fleet, and the title Fifth Fleet was designated for a fleet that would operate under the Pacific Fleet by Vice Admiral Raymond Spruance. As naval activity in the Central Pacific increased and operations diminished in the South Pacific, the Third and Fifth Fleets were melded into a single organization, but the title varied, depending on whether Vice Admiral Halsey or Vice Admiral Spruance actually exercised command. While one admiral commanded the Fleet in a specific operation, the other admiral was ashore with his staff planning the next major offensive. Today however the Fifth Fleet operates in the Gulf which the Third Fleet operates in the Pacific. [/QB][/QUOTE]
