[Editor's note: The various designations for departments in Op-20-G can be a confusing tangle of acronyms which changed from month to month. Thanks to the husband of former WAVE Bertha Boron who received this information from the National Archives and shared it with me, I've been able to sort out the departments, at least as they were organized 14 April 1944. If you share this confusion with me, I recommend the Glossary of US Naval Abbreviations published online by the Naval Historical Center]
