Diehl (T-AO 193), explains the various techniques he uses as a signalman. “OS Gonzales is bringing back to Diehl the skills and abilities that were once daily practiced and relied upon aboard the vessel, said Diehl’s Second Officer Alex Footman. “With technology continuing to advance, these past forms of visual communications are again going to be relied upon to keep our ships and the lives of their crews out of harm’s way.”
