210707-N-AC165-0003 (July 7, 2021) – Larry James Gonzales, Sr., ordinary seamen aboard USNS Walter S. Diehl (T-AO 193), simulates using a signal lamp to communicate with a neighboring ship. According to Second Officer Alex Footman, as technology improves, the need for signalmen will increase. “Because today’s technology allows other countries, including our adversaries, the ability to track our electronic communications and radio frequency emissions, it is vital that the ship has the expertise and capability OS Gonzales brings to the ship. With Military Sealift Command vessels operating abroad, sometimes in highly contested areas, the ability to remain silent, unseen, and untracked allows ships to safely enter EMCON (Emissions Control) conditions. Being undetected is critical to carrying out the ship’s mission without interference from others
