Battle Group Delta steams in formation in the Western Pacific during WESTAC ' 88-89 Operations Specialists track all air, surface and subsurface contacts. Signalmen visually communicate with other ships in the battle group using flashing light, signal flags and semaphore. constellation (kon ' ste la ' shen) n. 1. Astron. A stellar group. It is sometimes described as a city afloat. Its citizens, the more than 5000 men who comprise the crew and airwing. In many ways this is true. In order to operate as a mobile airfield, capable of de- ploying to the far corners of the globe, the aircraft carrier needs to be as self-sufficient as a small city. Everything from a complete medical center to a daily newspaper is contained below the busy flight deck. In addition to a desalinization plant to convert seawater to fresh water, you can find a printing plant, a weather bureau, machine shops, a dental clinic, post office, aircraft maintenance shops, laundry and dry cleaning facilities, a fire department, police force, bank and stores as well as two television stations. But a ship is more than just a city and sailors are definitely not just the average citizen. The hours are long and hard and frequent separations from family and friends are commonplace. Sailors have had to be more than a cut above, and Connie sailors in particular have proven themselves time and time again to be among the best in the universe. Constellation has a proud history of ser- vice to her country, and whether she is con- ducting carrier qualifications off the coast of Southern California, or on station in the Indian Ocean, her crewmembers constant- ly live up to Webster ' s definition of the word constellation — a stellar group.
