Mike Mullane's book "Riding Rockets" describes the exchange between Atlantis' STS-27 crew and mission control during the check of the damaged tiles, but the CapCom on duty goes unnamed. Who was the CapCom on duty at the time?

The manning lists I have do not include the names of the CapComs for the DoD flights. That information is not classified, is it?

STS-27 CAPCOMs for Orbit 1-3 teams included: Kathy Sullivan, Frank Culbertson, G David Low and Pierre Thuot.

For reference, Ascent and Entry CAPCOMs were John Creighton and Mike Baker.
