Twenty-Four Women

Report For Sea Duty

To U.S. Coast Guard

Twenty-four women have re- ported to the United States Coast

Guard cutters Gallatin and Mor- genthau to begin historic sea duty.

The first women ever assigned to serve aboard armed U.S. mil- itary vessels, they will be taking part in fisheries patrols in At- lantic and Pacific waters this fall.

Two officers and 10 enlisted women have been assigned to each of the 378-foot high-endur- ance cutters, the Gallatin berthed at Governors Island, N.Y., and the Morgenthau at San Francisco,

Calif.

As the ships got ready for de- parture, Secretary of Transpor- tation Brock Adams sent "bon voyage" telegrams to the cutters' crews through their commanding officers — Gallatin Capt. Alan D.

Breed of Tampa, Fla., and Mor- genthau Capt. George E. Walton of Parsippany, N.J. "I want to congratulate you on having the opportunity to be the first to carry out this new re- sponsibility. Men and women, to- gether, will be participating for the first time in the historic mis- sion of the Coast Guard at sea.

I send you the best wishes of the

Department of Transportation and the Administration as you set sail.

The inclusion of women among

Coast Guard ship crews is another major step in this country's ef- forts to utilize the talents and resources of all of its people."

Both vessels carry crews of about 15 officers and 140 enlisted personnel.

A breakthrough in video processing

For the radar efficient ship. improving the best marine radar in the world*

With ordinary radar there are six fundamental problems that can hinder the interpretation of a radar picture - Sea clutter, which can best be dealt with by manual adjustment of the sea clutter controls; Rain clutter, dealt with by manual adjustment of 'rain' and 'sea clutter' and 'gain' controls. (These controls require constant skilled adjustment, sometimes over long periods, and provide at best a compromise solution.) Radar interference from other ships and receiver noise from own ship also worsen the picture. Weak echoes are hard to pick out and small echoes even harder to see at long range.

But now Decca CLEARSCAN radar solves these problems with unrivalled picture clarity.

Sea clutter is suppressed by automatic adaptive control of the Sea Clutter Control.

The rain clutter is suppressed by automatic adaptive control of both the rain and sea clutter controls, and gain level.

Radar interference is suppressed by automatic circuits.

Receiver noise automatically removed.

Weak echoes automatically raised to full brilliance by digital video... ...and echoes 'stretched' automatically on longer ranges. 32 Maritime Reporter/Engineering • News
