Radarman, striker (E-3) - designated RD. Radarman, RDSN (E-3) - designated RDSN. Radarman 3rd class (E-4)- designated RD3. Radarman 2nd class (E-5) - designated RD2. Radarman 1st class (E-6) - designated RD1. Radarman, chief (E-7) - designated RDC. Radarman, senior chief (E-8) - designated RDCS. Radarman, master chief (E-9) - designated RDCM. Duties edit The radarman was generally required to attend and complete a U.S. Navy Class "A" radar school at a designated Naval Training Centers (NTC) in the United States. Once assigned to a ship or shore station, the radarman was required to operate and maintain the installed radar and electronic warfare equipment. Radarmen were specially trained in emergency repair procedures, as their assigned vessels went into combat areas. The Radarman (RD) rating was changed to Operations Specialist (OS) in October 1972, with its operational duties assigned to the OS rating, electronic warfare operation and maintenance to the Electronic Warfare Technician (EW), and its radar maintenance duties to the Electronics Technician (ET) rating. Operations Specialists play an important role with search-and-rescue teams, such as man overboard and directing search-and-rescue helicopters to downed pilots at sea. The Operations Specialist also operates radar, navigation, and communications equipment in shipboard and combat information centers (CICs) or bridges. They detect and track ships, planes, and missiles. They operate and maintain IFF (identification friend or foe) systems. Since changing from RD to OS, the OS rating has taken on more functions or duties. Besides Radar navigation, tactical communications, naval gunfire support, and Air Intercept Control (AIC), the OS now directs amphibious operations, establishes and maintains tactical data links, Anti-Submarine Tactical Air Control (ASTAC), Strike control, and other duties.

A RD rate is an obsolete one converted into OS operational specialist . The operated the radar not repaired it . Not a radio man . Worked in CIC , combat information Center .

USS Mitscher (DL-2/DDG-35), named for Admiral Marc "Pete" Mitscher USN (1887-1947), was the lead ship of her class of destroyer leaders of the United States Navy. Commissioned in 1953, she was later converted to a guided missile destroyer, and served until 1978. She was sold for scrap in 1980. RD is radio man I think .

At 7:13 USS Biddle/Claude V. Ricketts (DD-995/DDG-5), was a Charles F. Adams-class guided missile destroyer of the United States Navy in service 1962 so film is younger than I thought.
