BOTH SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL, AND FIRMLY RESOLVE TO DE- FEND OUR LIBERTIES WHEREVER AND WHENEVER THEY ARE THREATENED. V, WE OFF THE LEXINGTON ARE PROUD OF THE PART OUR SHIP HAS PLAYED IN HELPING TO SECURE THE RIGHTS OF MAN. THIS BOOK WAS ASSEMBLED TO COMMEMORATE THE EPIC STRUGGLE OF OUR CARRIER AGAINST THE LAND. SEA AND AIR FORCES OF THE JAPANESE EMPIRE. VICE ADMIRAL FREDERICK c1 SHERMAN, U. s if The mysteries of our Myths are as startling as the futilities of fate. The U.S.S. Lexington has played host to Admirals throughout her service in the war zones. Only on two occasions was an Admirals pennant not flying above the island struc- l ure . . . and only on two occasions did the Valiant Lady suffer dam age at the hands of the enemy. Both hits occurred while the ship was without a Flag. The Flagship Lexington is proud that it wa h s C osen to be the home of Admirals. The honor thus bestowed upon h l er ent her new dignity and increased her fight- f ing e ficiency. Her Admirals were many. Shown on these pages are a few t o the great men who gave of their services from th ' e Flag deck of the Carrier 'J' BOARD uk 'k 'A' VICE ADMIRAL MARC A. MITSCHER, U. S NAVY TL, ti REAR ADMIBAL DAWSON, U, S. NAVY REAR ADMIRALASPRAGUE, U, s. NAVY 24? is .df ,4V,,4 1 'MIIH1' Q3 CAPTAIN FELIX B. STUMP, U. S. NAVY The first Skipper of the Lexington was Captain fnow Rear Admirall Felix B. Stump. A graduate of the Naval Academy Class of 1917 with a strong background in carrier war and carrier techniques, he took over the helm of the new Lexington with a vigorous hand and in short order had won for her the reputation of being a hot carrier. Under Captain Stump the Lexington participated in the first attack on Wake Island, attacks in the Gilberts, the landings on Tarawa, and the first long- range strike deep into lap waters against Palau A capable administrator and a skilful seaman, he won the affection and deep respect of all hands. Within two minutes after the Lex was torpedoed on the night of 4 December 1943 the Skipper was on the bull-horn fpublic address systeml. Men, this is the Captain. We have taken a torpedo hit in our stern and the rudder seems badly damaged. Stand firm and cool. Each man must do his job calmly and efficiently. Don't worry! That's my job. l got you in here and l'll get you out. The story of how Captain Stump steered the Lex out of the Marshalls and back to Pearl Harbor by using only the m-ain engines is now a Lexington legend. The Skipper was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral on 10 April 1944 and was given command of a division of Escort Carriers. The Lex has always reserved a special place in her affection for the man who started her out right. l-le was recently awarded the Navy Cross for commanding his Ieeps so well that they crippled and turned back a major enemy Task Group. ,, n - M IQ , QL Captain fnow Rear Admirall Ernest W. Litch re- lieved Rear Admiral Stump as skipper of the Lexing- ton on 10 April 1944. The Lex was Flagship for Task Force 58 under Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher and Captain Litch assumed the responsibility with an easy, practiced hand. A slight, dark man with swift, darting eyes, he soon proved that he had the fire, ability and per- sonality to take up where Admiral Stump had left off and keep the Lex right at the top of the list of operating carriers. Cn the night of 15 Iune 1944 while supporting the occupation of Saipan the Lex underwent a heavy dusk torpedo attack. Captain Litch with exceptional skill dodged two torpedoes and flicked the stern of the Lex out of the way of a flaming attacker which had just been set afire by Lexington guns. A master seaman and a cool operator in emer- gencies, he brought the Lex through the most trying days of the war with flying colors. I-le kept faith with the Lexington tradition by receiving a promo- tion to the rank of Rear Admiral on 30 Ianuary 1945. Rear Admiral Litch received command of a division of Escort Carriers and took part in a number of engagements in the 7th Fleet with his CVE's. A fighting skipper, a graduate of the Naval Acad- emy Class of 1920, he made a notable contribution to the winning of the Pacific war. , Q- qj' . Q NBL i x a n W FWF2 1 N 1 4 CAPTAIN THOMAS H. ROBBINS, IR., U. S. NAVY I K l, HL Captain Thomas H. Robbins, Ir., relieved Rear Admiral Litch on 30 Ianuary 1945 as Commanding Officer of the blue Ghost. A large, imposing figure with a vigorous, agile demeanor, he was introduced to the crew of the Lex by Rear Admiral Litch as the best Captain in the Navy. Captain Robbins is the perfect blending of the scholar and the fight- ing man, the orator and the understanding human being. l-le assumed easily the role of Captain of the Lexington and bred into his officers and men his own feeling of pride in her accomplishments. When Captain Tom addressed the crew it was considered an event. 1-1is voice, pitch and delivery resembled closely that of the late President Roose- velt and his own enthusiasm about a forthcoming strike never failed to communicate itself to the crew. Captain Robbins will be remembered with grati- tude by numerous Prisoners of War of the Iapanese for his quick response to their physical needs and for theinspirational message which he sent to them by message drop. Lex planes dropped 32,981 pounds of supplies to their suffering comrades. In his mes- sage Captain Robbins applauded the courage of these men who had suffered the fanaticism and tyranny of the Nips. 1-le received many letters of thanks from them. They said that the Lex had made the hour of victory a Christmas, New Year's and Thanksgiving all rolled into one. While under the command of Captain Robbins the Lexington became the first Essex class carrier to enter Tokyo Bay. Captain Robbins is a graduate of the Naval Academy Class of 1920 and was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral on 15 November 1945. 1-le left the Lexington in Tokyo Bay to take a post in Washington, D. C., in the office of the Secretary of the Navy. Q13 . ...... X ' 'lllll 5 CAPTAIN BRADFORD E. GROW, U. S. NAVY Captain Bradford E. Grow assumed command of the Lexington on l8 November 1945 while the 'lBlue Ghost was at anchor in Tokyo Bay sweating out the occupation. A mild, soft-spoken man, he took the helm of the Lex during the trying days ot demobilization and made a 4.0 start by guaran- teeing each man every consideration in getting him home without delay. This statement of policy won for him the full confidence and respect ot the crew immediately. He has lived up to his promise. Captain Grow previously commanded the U. S. S. KASAAN BAY and served as Chief of Staff to Com- mander Fleet Air Norfolk before coming to the Lex as skipper. With this broad background in carrier technique he stepped into his new role with grace and skill. Captain Grow has shown, in the short time he has been aboard, that he will carry on and add new laurels to the Lexington tradition. The new boss is a graduate of the Naval Academy class ot l922. COMMANDER ROBERT C. SUTLIEF, U. S. NAVY A graduate of the Naval Academy Class of 1924 Commander Sutlift came to the Lex as her first Exec. with a broad background in Naval Aviation. He went through the agonies of putting the ship into commission and stayed with her long enough to watch her perform with skill and distinction on 5 and 6 October 1943 when we attacked Wake Island. He left the Lex to take the important post of Chief of Staff to the Commander of Carrier Division l. He Was relieved on 12 October 1943 by Commander Bennett W. Wright. COMMANDER BENNETT WOOD WRIGHT U. S. NAVY Commander Bennett W. Wright was the Air Offi- cer for the Lex before he relieved Commander Sutliff as Exec. A baldish, amiable man With clean- cut features, he brought the Lex through some of her most exciting days and Won the distinction of being the first to fly a plane from the Lex's flight deck and land it aboard. Commander Wright re- ceived a promotion to Captain on 7 May l944 and left the Lexington to become Aide to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. I fx . I 'yfhxxk COMMANDER IAMES MILLS LANE, U. S. NAVY Already recognized as one of the Navy's out- standing Navigators, Commander Iames M. Lane stepped up to the spot of Exec. as relief for Com mander Wright. His performance as Navigator for th L . . . e exington had been brilliant and he brought thesame efficiency and integrity to his new 'ob. J Commander Lane was Executive Officer during the First Battle of the Philippine Seas and the strikes launched in support of the occupation of th M ' e ari- anas. He was promoted to the rank of Captain on Iuly 22, 1944 and was relieved by Commander L. B. ne is a graduate of the Southerland. Captain La Naval Academy Class of l926. COMMANDER LEONARD BRADSHAW SOUTHERLAND, U. S. NAVY Commander Leonard B. Southerland stepped into the number 2 spot on 22 Iuly 1944 after an already long tour of duty aboard the Lex as Commander of Air Group 16 and Air Officer. A loved and re- spected figure, his intimate knowledge of the offi- cers, men, and traditions of the Lex made him a splendid choice. Shiek Southerland is a tall, gangling man who is easily mistaken for Abraham Lincoln. His peculiar talent is being a terrific guy to work for and when the burns he received on November 5 from the Kamikaze hit made it neces- sary for him to leave us for hospitalization it was a great disappointment to all. Commander Souther- land is a graduate of the Naval Academy Class of l926 and the winner of the Legion of Merit for his grand work as Air Group Commander aboard the Lex. .Q'v' l 1 t 9' it . 'I - 1 COMMANDER THOMAS ANTHONY AHROON, U. S. NAVY Commander Thomas Ahroon took over the hot seat in an emergency relieving Comdr. Souther- land who had just been seriously burned. He com- manded the repairing of the damage from the Kamikaze hit and the handling of the wounded with skill and coolness and in short order had the Lex back in excellent fighting trim. His firm devotion to duty and outstanding leadership while perform- ing two key tasks-Air Officer and Executive Officer -won for him a permanent assignment as Exec. and the Legion of Merit. Typhoon Ahroon was with the Lexington for 14 months and is remembered as one of her most colorful figures and capable officers. His Crystal Ball and his battle cry Uhabba habba which reduced launching and land- ing times by precious minutes are proud Lexington traditions. Commander Ahroon received a promo- tion to Captain on 24 September 1945 and was relieved by Commander E. O. Wagner to take a post in Washington, D. C. If c CCMMANDER EDWIN O. WAGNER, U. S. NAVY Commander Edwin O. Wagner joined the Lexing- ton in Tokyo Bay where he relieved Captain Ahroon as Exec. on 24 September l945. The new boss Walked into the demobilization hysteria and an Admiral's Annual Military Inspection. He handled both with the skill of an old timer. The Lexington received high praise from Admiral Sprague for the excellent condition of the ship, due largely to Comdr. Wagner's excellent organization and super- vision. A well-built man with a clean-cut face and blonde hair, his pleasant manner and keen under- standing of the problems of the Lex have won for him the respect and confidence of officers and men alike. Commander Wagner is a Brooklyn man and a graduate of the Naval Academy Class of 1940. 'fig' 5. COMMANDER ROLAND STIELER, U. S. NAVY Commander Roland St' l ie er, U.S.N., relieved Cap- tain Wagner in February of 1946 while the U.S.S. Lexington was at anchor off the coast of California. The task before him was not an easy one. The aircraft carrier h d a undergone a complete meta- morphosis in regard to personnel and Navy exist- ence. His was the job of converting a fighting War ship, staffed with men who had seen the Navy only in time of emergency, into a peacetime operating vessel. l-lis fairness and understanding attitude WOT1 for him a high prestige with the men and officers. Rugged in stature and pleasing in personality, he acquired respect and admiration with everyone aboard. The major problem confronting him WGS overcome in short order. Reconversion was tough, but under his expert guidance, all hands cooperated and the Lexington continued to operate with the vigor and stamina that won her wide acclaim during the period of war. fl' Q! l riff T lb, Q F,-ff ' VA ll V A 7 4 3-' nf ,H wh nf' f if 2 f .ti I V it , l it iff: I I .1 it 1 i tin ll 5 L, 'JJ ' it fi fm. 1 , 3 it my PM ' VJ 1 L lbff' ft Cf v5 V gr N , Ci H 0 it Q , l .wg if 61 ir ' in t 74 I 1 lg- ! tl Q, git UU ,pl l 9 n , f, ' r .-511-,-2r,r.?: U L yy y . -- l,.-- i'T'r- -V , ' ---V .-' E? , .' - 19-152' '4 - - ' - ' ' W' 1'-'df' - fi .12,f- ---1 - C .5 , , T',,-'- - ,Q C .-l,,:Y, J- ,Q f- . - n ... ,, , , ,.,,- asf: A' -4- - LTI '3gL::.iit '?A -- Q- ' l?

She was Bunk OH May 8. 19412, in the battle of the Coral Sea. The contract for the present U.S.S. Lexington, the fifth ship of the U. S. Navy of that name, was let with the Bethlehem Steel Company on September 9, 1940, and the keel was laid at the Fore River Ship Yard at Quincy, Mass., on luly 15, 1941. She slid down the ways on September 26, 1942, christened by Mrs. T. D. Robinson, who had christened the fourth Lexington. At the launching, Rear Admiral Frederick C. Sher- man, who had commanded the old Lexington, pre- dicted: Today the new Lexington takes up where the old Lexington left off. May her career be full of glorious achievement. She will help carry out our pledge that freedom shall not perish from the earth. Finally, on February 17, 1943, at the South Boston Navy Yard, Rear Admiral R. A. Theobold, Commandant of the First Naval District, accepted her in behalf of the Navy, and Captain Felix B. Stump, in the presence of Governor Saltonstall of Massachusetts, accepted her command. Since her commissioning, the Lexington, fulfilling Admiral Sherman's prophecy, has participated in nearly every major operation of the Pacific war. She has spent an aggregate of 21 months in the combat area, at least 18 of which were west of the 180th meridian. Her planes have struck at Tarawa, Kwajalein, the Marianas, 'Palau, the Philippines, Truk, the Bonins, Formosa, Okinawa, and Iapan itself, and helped destroy the power of the lapanese fleet in the first and second battles of the Philippine Sea. Strong in gunnery as well as in air operations, in all that time, though frequently attacked, she received but two hits. Her record more than avenges the fate of her namesake. The story of the Lexington, like that of all carriers, is the story of her air groups. Her first and perhaps the most famous, Air Group 16, came aboard on April 23 in Chesapeake Bay, where she had pro- ceeded after a fitting-out period in Boston. She engaged in practice maneuvers until May 11, then departed for a shakedown cruise to the Gulf of Paria, Trinidad, British West Indies. After four weeks in this classic training area, she returned to Boston on lune 8th for post-shakedown availability. THE LEX ENTEBS THE WAR Alter this perird she set out for the Pacific. Pass- ing through the Panama Canal on Iuly 26-27, she arrived at Pearl Harbor on August 9 and reported ku S The U.S.S. Lexington, CV-16, fifth ship in the U. S. Navy of that name, sixteenth heavy carrier in the U. S. Fleet, sister ship ol the U.S.S. Essex and of all other Essex Class Carriers, on de-gaussing trials at the Boston Navy Yard, shortly after her commissioning. The Lexington was built by the Bethlehem Steel Co. at the Fore River Ship Yard, Quincy, Mass., has cz length of 889 feet, a width of 109 feet, and can make over 35 miles per hour. She was commissioned at the South Boston Navy Yard on February 17, 1943. M if :fjf?L'1Zif'jJl 1 -. . .

Marshall and Admiral King watch air operations during the Lexington's training period. for duty as part of the Pacific Fleet. At this stage in the war the Navy had not yet captured the forward anchorages-Eniwetok, Ma4 juro, Ulithi-A--which were all the port that fleet personnel were to see at a later stage, and task forces were in the pleasant habit of retiring to Pearl l-larbor between operations. The Lexingtons first mission was such an operation -- -a one-day raid on Tarawa late in September, followed two weeks later by a two-day attack on Wake lsland, the ship returning to Pearl after each mission. From November 19 to 24 she supported the hard- fought landings in the Gilbert Islands, flying searches and a series of destructive strikes on Mille. On the twenty-third her fighters and fighter direc- tors got their first chance to exercise their skills, with brilliant success, when twelve fighters ac- counted for seventeen out of a flight of twenty Fighter pilots wait in the ready room before the Tarawa raid: Autographing 1000 lb. bombs before the Lexington s hrs! blow in the war-the raid on Tarawa. planes. The next day another twelve got twglve. more, Ship and air group were now a smooth. functioning combat team. ln the action report covering this engagement Captain Know Rear Admirall Stump, said, This Commanding Officer would be interested to know if, in the brilliant records of other Fighting Aircraft Units in this war, such a record has been equalled lt is probable that the courageous and aggressive action on the part of Fighting Sixteen, in promptly intercepting and shooting down twenty-nine lapae nese planes, demoralized the lapanese Air Com- mand in the Marshalls to such an extent that they were temporarily unable to send any more planes toward the Gilberts while we remained on the inter- cept station, and by thus stopping air attacks from the Marshalls, Fighting Sixteen contributed an ap- preciable share to the successful conclusion of the conquest of the Gilbertsf' THE LEX GETS l-llT After refueling, the force proceeded on their next mission, a raid on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshalls. Tough opposition was encountered and the Lexing- ton rose to the occasion. Over the target, twelve Lexington l-lellcats ran into approximately thirty Zekes. When the shooting was over, nineteen enemy fighters and one Betty bomber had been destroyed in the air, and three Bettys on the around. Meanwhile the bombers and torpedo planes attacking the shipping had damaged two cruisers and blown up a cargo ship. While returning from this strike the SBD's encountered enemy fighters 'K K.. fi, I, fl ,fr .1 ll' ,., I' f ,ft ,ty I, f til i ,1.-3 ' fa--' ' '..f fr, ,. l ll V, i.. vi' if l tll i l i l l i ati 0 Qt 6 44-1 and bombers and shot down six Zekes and one Betty on their way back to the ship. The 101411 score of our group for this one strike was twenty- seven enemy aircraft shot down in the air, three bombers destroyed on the ground, one large cargo ship sunk, one cruiser sunk and one cruiser proba- bly sunk. Meanwhile, at noon, the ship underwent a skilful, coordinated torpedo attack by enemy planes. Two torpedo planes were first sighted by lookouts com- ing in on the starboard side. The Lexington imme- diately opened fire, the first ship in the group to do so. lntense and accurate fire from Lexington guns brought both planes down in flames, the first 200 yarcif ahead and the second 500 yards astern of the ship. A third plane was immediately sighted which closed to 1800 yards and dropped its torpedo before being hit and crashing on the starboard beam. Within the space of a few minutes Lexington gunners had destroyed three enemy torpedo planes and had probably saved the ship--a feat they were to perform many times in the future. Many enemy planes, however, escaped our fighters and retiring to their bases made prepara- tions for a night torpedo attack. A full moon would be out to aid them and the evening promised to be lively, From 6:46 P, M. to 1:47 the next morning, the force was under skilful and prolonged attack, which culminated in a hit on the Lexington.

To those with top- side battle stations it seemed like a long-drawn-out, unreal dream, the ship silently steaming through the water, throwing out a brilliant phosphorescent wake, the moonlight reflected against the planes on the flight deck, and all the while the bright stream- ers of tracer bullets and the flash of five-inch bursts from the ships of the screen firing at unseen targets. At 2150 float lights were dropped in the water to guide the attackers into the target. At 2322 four parachute flares appeared on our port beam. They were beautifully placed to silhouette the ship, and it was obvious that we had been picked out as the target. At 2325 the ship opened fireg bogies were closing in fast on the starboard bow. A torpedo was seen to drop from a Betty on the starboard beam who immediately was heavily fired on but came in close and got away at high speed directly over the ship. At 2332 the torpedo hit. The ship immediately settled five feet to starboard and lost steering con- trol. She began to turn in a circle to port, stream- ing a dense cloud of smoke from ruptured FS gas tanks on the faritai1. Temporarily protected by this accidental smoke screen, the ship fought to regain steering control. Within twenty minutes after receiving the hit the rudder was brought amidships through the use of an emergency hand-operated hydraulic unit which had been designed by Lieutenant P. N. MacDonald, of the Lexington and installed by her own crew during the last availability. This device which was a Lexington invention and a Lexington installation was largely instrumental in saving the ship from .. ,. . . y. , ,. - -L-' bf . --7 1 - 1--1 -J.- - - 1 The day's tally for eight fighter pilots on Nov. 23, 1943.

Steering only with the main engines, within half an hour after being hit the ship was proceeding eastward at twenty knots. The entire retirement to Pearl Harbor was made in this manner. Despite the damage caused to sick bay by the shock of the torpedo the Medical Department began receiving and administering to patients almost im- mediately. All hands in the Medical Department worked unceasingly until ten the next morning, at which time all patients had been properly treated. The flooded compartments were immediately sealed off and flooding to adjacent compartments was negligible. After temporary repairs at Pearl Harbor, the ship put her air group ,ashore and proceeded to Bremer- ton for permanent repairs, arriving on December 22. About this time Tokyo Rose reported the Lexington sunk. Her loyal fans on board the ship felt her story was slightly exaggerated. THE SECOND ROUND On February 12 the Ship's Navy Yard availability was completed. Picking. up Air Group 19, later to relieve Air Group 16, at Alameda, she transported them to Pearl Harbor, arriving there on February 28, where Air Group 16 came back aboard. Shortly after, Task Force 58, of which the Lexington was now a part, shifted its base of operations to Majuro in the Marshalls, and the fleet entered on the long- drawn atoll period of the war. At Majuro Admiral Mitscher shifted his flag aboard the Lexington, where he remained until October 31. The problems of a flagship were unique E 4 Commander E. M. Snowden, Command f er o Air Group 16.

The Lexington is proud of the part it played in helping this vast administrative organization to function efficiently and effectively. The Air Department was leaned upon heavily for technical advice. Communications became a more vital and a more complex organi- zation than ever. Lexington Combat Information Center tRadar-Radiol personnel established a repu- tation for dependability and resourcefulness which won great praise from Vice-Admiral Mitscher. The two outstanding articles for Life magazine on carrier war in l944, Task Force 58 and Life Goes to a Party Aboard an Aircraft Carrier, were writ- ten from the Lexington. It is worthy of note that Commander I. R. North, Lexington Gunnery Officer, and Lieutenant Commander I. R. Eggert, Lexington C.l.C. Officer, were made permanent additions to the staff of Vice-Admiral lviitscher. After a warm-u ny. Never before in the history of na l p raid on Mille, the force engaged in a series of operations in great strength against centers of resistance in Iapan's outer empire, apera- tions which culminated in the landings on the Mari- anas in Iune. The fleet was already rapidly ap- proaching the overwhelming size which was to smash through to the homeland itself in little mare i than a year, and Lexington men looked amazement at the comparatively puny operations of even a few months before. back with On March 22 the force moved deep into the heart af Japanese waters to strike Palau, and on March 28 and 29 executed two days of damaging raids, followed by another days attacks on W ticipating a warm reception, all hands were pleas- antly disappointed to meet only a few mild night attacks that did no damage. THE LEX MOVES lN ON TRUK While in Majuro after this operation, Captain Stump, who had commanded the Lexin her commissioning, was relieved on April 10 by Captain Ernest W. Litch. On April l3 the force again sortied to support the Army's landings at I-iollandia. Heavy strikes were flown on D-l day, but it soon turned out on D day that opposition was lightg the force withdrew from direct support, and refueled on the 25th. On the 28th the force turned northward and stabbed at Truk, then the most highly respected Of all enemy island bases. The first fighter sweep had scarcely left the deck on the morning of the attack when two enemy dive-bombers, eluding intercep- tion in the sgually weather, made high-speed TUUS on the Lexington.

The wounded are transferred to a naval h 't attack' OSP1 al at Pearl Harbor. Nine men were killed and thirty-five wounded in this o l while the other, diverted by her fire, dropped Q bomb that iust missed her stern, and made his escape through the now wildly firing formation, The first sweep found many planes waiting for them over the target, taking full advantage of cleud cover. In the furious dog fight that followed, Lex- mgton planes shot down seventeen with a loss of four. Other air groups did equally well, and for the remainder of the two days in which the force worked over this unhappy outpost, enemy gif ye- sistance was negligible. Except for one more dive- bomber, who also, of course, iust missed the Lex- ington, no further attacks were made on the force. On the way back to lvfajuro the Lexington was sunk-by Tokyo Rose, for the second time. THE LEX AT Tl-IE MARIANAS After several more weeks at lvfajuro, the force moved out on lune 6 to support the occupation of the Marianas. A surprise fighter sweep on the after- noon of lune ll, suggested by Air Group l6, vir- tually eliminated air opposition over Saipan, and strikes battered the target for the next five days. Torpedo planes from Guam, however, continued to harass the force, and on Iune l5 staged the fiercest night attack ever experienced by the Lexington. At 7:07 PM our lookouts reported sighting ten twin-engine planes dead ahead and closing fast. When the Lexington opened fire with automatic batteries eight 'lErances were plainly visible on Vice-Admiral Mitscher and Capt. Litch salute the crew at a presentation of awards. May. 1944.

The ship put UD C1 volume of fire so great as at times to black the attackers from view, and brought five crashing into the water around the ship in flames. Two torpedOeS, however, were launched at the ship. CGDTGUI Litch daringly maneuvered her between them, and theY passed the length of the ship close aboard on either side. Simultaneously, one plane, flaming and out of control, flew the entire length of the flight deck, so close as to scorch the faces of those topside, and crashed off the port quarter. In this swift encounter, gunners of the Lexington displayed the highest degree of courage and coolness. They destroyed five of the attacking planes without assistance from other vessels of the group and with assistance from screening vessels destroyed two more. Life pho- tographer Eyerman described the engagement in Life magazine as one of the greatest demonstra- tions of self-defense he had ever witnessed. By some miracle no ship was hit in this engagement. Tokyo Rose, however, claimed one carrier sunk, this time for keeps. Which one? You guessed it-the Lexington. On the 19th and 20th occurred the famous turkey shoot at Saipan and the first battle of the Philip- pine Sea. The story of both is familiarfhow the Iapanese fleet came out of hiding to prevent the Saipan landings, how the Japanese commander instructed his planes to land at Rota after their strikes, thus doubling the range at which they Could be launched, how his plan was foiled by Comeng trated strikeslon the Guam and Rota airfieldg tim reduced them to uselessness, how the successive massed flights of lap planes were torn to pieces by our defending fighters, and the survivors, with me where to land, were shot down or forced down qt sea, for a total destruction of over 400 meatballs in a single dayg and then how, the next day, a scout plane sighted the enemy fleet, 340 miles to the west, how an afternoon strike was launched, in spite of the distance, to drop on the enemy befgre sunset and, through intense AA fire, to sink one carrier and four tankers, probably sink another carrier, tanker and destroyer, and damage severql more ships, and how, after dark, the exhausted pilots, their planes shot up and out of fuel, fumbled their way back to the fleet, and landed somehow on their carriers, or any other carrier, or in the water, in a wild melee that destroyed more planes than the Iapanese had done. Through all this, Lexington pilots and crew played their full part. Though her fighter planes were not in on the fattest interceptions, they shot down forty- five planes on Iune l9. Lexington gunners helped shoot down a Iudy. On the 20th, Commander Ernest Snowden and a group of twelve volunteer fighters agreed to arm their I-lellcats with bombs and conduct a long-range search for the escaping En Alliaril 26. 1944, the Lexington, refueling for the strike on Truk. found Srse at the C'-mflUel'lC9.Of lapanese 'searches from Guam, Palau, and Biakf and her Combat Air Patrol shot dtown a total of 5 Bettys.

This sequence, which was used in The Fighting Lady , may not have originated on the Lexington. enemy fleet. Though they never found the fleet fgp which they searched, they reached a point 450 miles from the ship before turning back, thus ppgv- ing for the first time that fighter planes could bg uesd on long-range flights of this type. The epic performance of Air Group l6 in the subsequent attack on the Iapanese fleet is told in a vivid and skilful book, Mission Beyond Darkness, by Lieu- tenant Commander Ioseph Bryan, lll, and Philip Reed. Nine planes and four pilots were lost in thing, engagement. These historic days were Air Group 16's last. After ten more days of milk runs over Guam, the ship was relieved and retired to Eniwetok. On Iuly 9 Air Group 16, by now rated one of the top three groups in the Pacific, was relieved by Air Group l9 for a well-earned rest. THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS Air Group 19 brought aboard the first squadron of Helldivers to operate from the Lexington. Re- garded with distrust at first, the ship soon learned to respect their Worth, and the skill of their pilots. The cooperation and tremendous enthusiasm of the new air group quickly won the esteem of all on board. The air groups tour of duty began slowly, but 191 Irma, 1944-Guam burns. This is how the Iapcmese P105 ound their landing fields on the day of the Turkey Shoot . worked up to a smashing climax. The first mOmh'S operations, starting on Iuly I4, were entirely-un- eventful, no opposition being encountered at any time either over the target or over the force. Three days of operations, totaling 551 sorties, in support of the landing on Guam, three days of strikes on Palau, three more days early in August against the Bonins-all of these were carried out smoothly, in spite of often unfavorable weather, until the ship returned to Eniwetok on August IU, where she remained for the balance of the month. THE PHILIPPINE LIBERATION In September the Third Fleet was organized under Admiral I-Ialsey. This month also opened slowly, with three uneventful days of strikes against Palau. These strikes, however, marked the last assaults of the fleet on Iapans outer defenses. From then on, the Lexington and the whole Third Fleet entered on a series of extended and arduous opera- tions over the Philippines, in support of IVfacArthur's campaign to recapture this lost territory, After two unopposed days of strikes on Mindanao, the fleet swung northward, and opened up on the Visayans. Air Group I9 met opposition for the first time on the l2th over Cebu, and in one melee accounted for fifteen enemy fighters. Thereafter their score mounted rapidly. On the 2lst, the fleet struck for the first time at the Manila area. The Lexington launched four deck! load strikes which did extensive damage to aircraft on the ground and to hangars and other installa tions, and heavily attacked two convoys caught off the west coast. For the first time all hands could feel that they were hitting the Iap where it hurt most, as they had done to us at Pearl I-larbor. The next morning was a hectic one, as isolated enemy planes made a series of runs on the force as flight operations began, and the first launch was accom panied by intermittent fire from the ships batteries, No damage was done, however, and the rest of the day ran off as scheduled. The coolness of the flight deck crew in carrying out their duties under such distracting conditions was a source of pride to all hands. With a concluding day of strikes against the Visayan area, the force retired for replenishment The Lexington spent several uneasy days at Kossole Roads, only eight miles north of Iap-held Babel- thuap, then retired to newly captured Ulithi. Back in Iapan, Tokyo Rose felt haunted.

Such is the power of the press. FUN AT FORMOSA Operations in the real war began again early in October with the first strike of the war against Oki- nawa on October IO, a daring move that turned out to be surprisingly routine. After refueling, the force proceeded south and on the 12th opened three days of strikes against Formosa, where by contrast heavy and determined opposition developed. ln the f. . . irst fighter sweep Air Group 19 shot down twenty- eight enemy fighters over the targets, but no bogeys appeared over the force until nightfall Then a determined night attack began which lasted until 3:45 AM the next day. Although runs were made on the ship, and many torpedoes were dropped, no one in the force was hit, the strain, however, of remaining at General Ouarters all night and again all the next night, was severe. In spite of enemy planes in the area, all launches the next day went off without interference. The japanese, however, brought in reinforcements dur ing the day and that night attacked again. A uhh in another task group was hit, and the force stood by all night to assist her, sending off a further diversionary fighter and bomber sweep before dawn the next day. On the return of this flight retirement began, held back by headwinds and heavy seas. All day enemy scouts kept the force in sight, Early in the afternoon, a single plane made of run on the Lexington and dropped a torpedo in her wake, without success. A short while later, evening chow was dis rupted by the general alarm and the firing of the starboard batteries, The Lexington had once again been the first to spot an incoming attack group, ten or more fills ttorpedo planesi, and she had promptly opened fire at 16,000 yards. Her intense and accurate fire destroyed three of the attacking Iills and assisted in shooting down two others. The attack did only minor damage to another unit in the group. Shortly after, the group's defensive fighters intercepted and wiped out a further flight of eighteen enemy planes. This broke the back of the attack, and the force made good its retirement. TI-IE SECOND BATTLE OF TI-IE PHILIPPINE SEA The force lingered in the north for several days to protect the retirement of her damaged ships, and also in the hope of encountering Iapanese fleet units, reported on the move, Then proceeding south, the Lexington's task group launched a series of strikes on October 21 on Southern Luzon and the Visayans. On the 24th she returned to Luzon. The 24th of October, the first day of the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea, is a day that will per- haps linger longest in the memory of the crew ot the Lexington. Dawn found the task group alone to the east of Luzon, north of the rest of the force. Sub- marines had sighted enemy surface forces to the west of the Philippines on the previous day, and the Lexington now launched five search teams of eight planes each to locate them, while the rest of the group sent strikes over Luzon. At 8:00 AM the radars detected many, many bogeys closing, and all available fighters were launched. From this time on, the group was under constant dive-bombing attack throughout the day from shore-based and carrier-based planes. Most skilful use by Admiral Sherman of the protection of a large rain sguall in the vicinity, together with splendid work by the defending fighters, kept the bulk of the attackers at bay. Isolated planes, how- ever, occasionally broke through, it was in this action that the bomb was dropped on the Princeton which eventually caused her loss through the ex plosion of her own torpedoes ln the midst of this action, a large enemy force was reported in the Sibuyan Sea, and all available planes were immediately dispatched to the attack Though armed only with General Purpose bombs instead of torpedoes, they did considerable damage, the Lexingtons air group hitting a battleship and three cruisers. ln the afternoon the Lexington was ordered to send searches to the northeast of the group, where a second enemy force was suspected. The suspicion was shortly confirmed, when many, many bogeysf were again spotted closing, this time from the north east. Again sterling work by the defending team of fighters and fighter directors on the radar inter cepted and broke up the attack. Although one bomb dropped just off the ships starboard quarter, by 4:00 PM the attacks were concluded without damage. Altogether, the task group's fighters shot Palau burns. Iuly 27. 1944. Lexington planes pay a return visit cmd leave cz calling card. down l50 planes in the Course of the day, Air Group I9 accounting for 63. Even the brilliant action oi the following day came as an anti-climax to the Lexington While all this was going on, one of the search planes sighted the second force to the northeast, reporting it to contain four carriers and a converted battleship, with over a dozen support ships. Con- tact was immediately lost again when enemy planes drove him off. During the night, a night search plane again made contact, only to lose it once more because of operational difficulties. Though the exact position of the target was I'1Ol known, heavy strikes were launched at dawn, to-- gether with more Search planes. After considerable suspense, the enemy force was once more dis- covered, and the attacks quickly closed for the kill. The enemy was caught with the bulk of his planes, according to lapanese practice, on shore at Luzon, the twenty-odd defenders they managed to put up were quickly smothered by our Hellcats. For the rest of the day the groups planes had the unprecedented opportunity of working over an im- portant eenniy force at their leisure. Altogether, they sank three carriers and severely damaged the fourth, sank one cruiser and damaged a cruiser and a battleship. The Lexington's Air Group Com- mander, acting as target coordinator in the after- noon, became the first aviator in any war actually to see three carriers sink at one time. At sunset the groups cruisers were detached to finish off the dam- aged carrier, while the rest turned south, After two more days off the Visayans, the group finally re- turned to Ulithi. THE LEX EORGETS TO DUCK Cn November 5 the ship was hit. Qnce more oft Luzon, she had sent successful strikes over Clark Eield in the morning, and definitely sank a heavy cruiser in Manila Bay. Early in the afternoon, how- ever, a few enemy planes slipped by our fighterg and closed for the attack. At 1:37 PM two Zekes dove out of a heavy cloud cover at the Lexington, One was shot down by her guns, but the other, though on fire, kept on coming, and struck the ship, The whole attack was typical of a new style sui- cide raid. Largely gone were the days when twelve friendly fighters could gloriously wipe out an attack- ing force of twice that number, and so, too, were the long and nerve-wracking night attacks, such as that in which the Lexington had been hit before, Now the attacking planes refused to shoot it out with our defenders. With great skill they made all possible use of available cloud cover, which was heavy at the time- good Kamikaze weather, as the fleet had learned to knowe-in order to evade ou.r fighters.

Although five divisions of Ameri- can fighters, or a total of twenty planes, at various times attempted to intercept the raid, estimated to total seven planes, only one attacker was shot down before coming within range of the ship's guns. The final dive was as determined as the approach had been elusive. The first plane was deflected only because the tail was completely shot off by a five- inch shell. The second plane, though seen to shud- der numerous times from the impact of the explosive shells poured into it, and though on the point of disintegration when it struck, held on its course, dropped its bomb, and crashed into the starboard side of the island structure aft. The havoc that followed, though localized and soon brought under control, will never be forgotten by any man aboard. Much of the island was wrecked and numerous guns put out of commission. All of the radars went out temporarily, as well as much other similar equipment, the largest radar antenna was reduced to scrap metal. The list of several communication leads and other electrical connections takes up six single-spaced typewritten pages in the reports. The gasoline explosion from the plane and the bomb blast together started many heavy fires, though prompt work by fire-fighting parties had the blaze under control within twenty minutes. I'1C1l'1 The human damage was more tragic and less reparable. All told, forty-seven officers and men lost their lives as a result of this blow, and 127 more were injured, many seriously. Flash and fire, as - always in these cases, was the chief cause of suffering, while a few lost limbs or suffered frac- tures, and many were struck by fragments, and still others stunned, all were burned. lt was found difficult to care for the wounded in the cramped spaces in which they were caught, and even more so to evacuate them, under combat conditions, to more proper quarters. All hands turned to help, both medical department and others, tending their shipmates and carrying on with their regular duties at the sarne time. Too much cannot be said in praise of the splendid performance of the corpsmen and of all others involved in this arduous task. After the first six hours only two of the patients who were wounded had died, one from intra-cranial injury, the other from third-degree burns involving 90 per cent of the body surface. l-lighest praise was given to the Medical Department of this ship and the personnel who cared for the wounded by the Senior Medical Officer of the hospital' ship, U.S.S. Solace, for the excellent treatment which the in- jured received. The laundry and galley crew worked around the clock to keep sick bay supplied with fresh linens and special foods.

All the next lo d ' ' ng ay the ship continued to operate, sending off strikes and patrols 'as scheduled. 'Only on the 7th was she relieved, then at last she began h er retire- ment to Ulithi, transferring the wounded to the USS. Solace on arrival. She remained there during Nov b ' ' em er, undergoing repairs. On the way, the Lexington learned that she had been sunk again. The report did not seem as far wrong as usual. THE WEATHER TAKES A HAND ' During November, Air Group 19, who, since the occupation of Guam, had developed into a really magnificent air group, returned to the States, and were relieved by Air Group 20 from the Enterprise. On December ll the Lexington sortied once more from Ulithi flying the flag of Rear Admiral G, F. Bogan, Commander of Task Group 58.2. A Air G 2 ' roup Us war turned out to be more with the weather than with the lapanese. After three days CDecember l4-l6J of strikes against airfields in the Luzon area, in support of MacArthur's landings on Mindoro--strikes so successful that almost no enemy opposition developed-the force found itself for several days in the center of a typhoon. Luckily, the Lexington rode out this punishing storm with only minor damage, until finally the entire force was able to return to Ulithi on December 23, in time to spend th h l' e oiday season at that well-known resort. After a week of rest, the task group Cnow Task Group 38.23 ll sa ied forth again for three tough weeks of operations that included the first entry of the Fast Carrier Task Forces into the stormy South China Sea. The common purpose of these opera- tions, ranging from Indo-China to Okinawa, was to support the Army's landings at Lingayen Gulf, which began on lanuary 9. The first nine days of Ianua ry were spent in strikes on airfields on Luzon and Formosa, in which little enemy opposition was encountered. On the night of Ianuary 9, the force entered the China Sea, intending to seek out and destroy major units of the lapanese fleet which might threaten our landing operations. When no such units could be discov- ered, the operation developed into a far-flung hunt for enemy shipping. Attacks were launched on ship- ping and airfields at Saigon and Camranh Bay in lndo-China, Hong-Kong, the Pescadores lslands off Formosa, and Formosa itself. The most successful day was lanuary l2 at Cam- ranh Bay when planes from the Task Group wiped out one convoy of four merchant vessels and four escorts, a d n destroyed at least twelve vessels in another Durin th' - Q is time almost no airborne oppo- sition developed, and the chief obstacle was the weather, which seemed on occasion even to veteran fliers to be about as bad . as men could fly in. The strain on the pilots was correspondi ON TO TOKYO On lanuary 20, the force left the China Sea and proceeded northward to launch two more ngly great. strikes, 1 9 ls JNX s. ls N l . Q,-. vo one again on Formosa on Ianuary 21, the other the next day on Okinawa, after which the force finally retired. After steaming 9758 miles, the Lexington dropped anchor again at Ulithi on lanuary 27, On Ianuary 30 Captain Litch, who had com- manded the ship since April 1944, was relieved by Captain Thomas H. Robbins, and on the following day Ftear Admiral R. E. Davison relieved Rear Admiral Bogan of command of the group, now once more Task Group 53.2. This series of replacements was completed when Air Group 20 was relieved two days later by Air Group 9. When the force steamed out again on February 10, Air Group 9, new to the ship and to combat, was electrified to learn that their first operation was to be the first strike by the fleet against Tokyo itself, undertaken in support of the landings on lwo lima slated to begin on February 19. The airfields assigned to the Task Group were to the east and southeast of the city. The first fighter sweep, on the morning of February 16, quickly discovered, from the absence of airborne opposition or AA fire, that the enemy had not been forewarned, Clouds, rain squalls and low visibility over the launching area helped the force achieve surprise. Opposition soon increased, however, until by the end of the day Air Group 9 had shot down 25 enemy planes in the air, as well as eighteen on the ground. The success of the day was marred for air group and ship by loss of the Air Group Commander, P. H. Torrey, lr. On the following day, after two fighter sweeps had been launched, further operations were can- celled because of unfavorable weather reports, and the force retired to the vicinity of lwo lima. There during the next few days they sent planes on direct support missions over the Acre of Hell, rearming at sea on the 20th. BACK IN THE STATES The force moved back to Tokyo on February 23, but nearly all future operations were nullified by continuously bad weather. Three strikes were launched on February 25, but the targets were found closed in. Finally on March l the force attacked the Nansei Shoto fthe chain of islands that includes Okinawal. The Lexington was assigned three small islands in the Amami Gunto tnorth of Okinawal, where only a few planes were discov- ered, and the day was chiefly spent in attacks on shipping. The following day the force retired once more, arriving at Ulithi on March 5. On the same day Rear Admiral Davison dis- embarked, and preparations were made for a return to the United States, the first since February 1944, for routine overhaul. Air Group 9 was transferred and replaced by Air Group 3, aboard for trans- portation home. On March 7 the ship left Ulithi and Rearming at Sea, 1945.

THE THIRD ROUND During April and the first half of May, 1945, the Lexington underwent extensive overhaul at the Navy Yard. On May 18 the ship left Seattle for Alameda, California. There she took aboard planes and passengers for Pearl Harbor, including Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, and on May 29 departed for the third time from the United States for combat duty. At Pearl I-Iarbor her new air group, Air Group 94. reported aboard, bringing with them the first squad-e ron of Corsairs to operate from the Lexington. After a week of training exercises off Oahu, the Lexington, as a unit of Task Group 12.4, departed on Iune 13 for Leyte. Intensive training exercises enroute cul- minated in a one-day strike on Wake Island on Iune 20, designed to provide combat experience for the pilots, and to weaken the morale of the isloated Iapanese garrison. The Lexington alone dropped 63 tons of bombs and fired 470 rockets on the feebly resisting sandspit. Shortly after, a Iapanese hospital ship evacuated some 1000 sick and wounded and very defeated Nips. Continuing westward from Wake Island, the ship anchored on Iune 26 in San Pedro Bay, Leyte, Philippine Islands. Tl-IE KNOCKOUT On Iuly l the Lexington departed from Leyte as a unit of Task Group 38.1, one of the three task groups comprising Task Force 38. At that time she could not know that when next she dropped anchor it would be in Tokyo Bay, three days after the sur- render of Iapan. The Task Force moved directly northward for operations against the main Iapanese islands. The first nine days were used in intensive training enroute to the target. On the 10th of Iuly the Task Force struck the Tokyo area. I In certain respects this day set the pattern for the weeks to come. The primary mission was and continued to be the destruction of Iapanese planes in the air and on the ground. On this day, as on all succeeding days, the Iapanese refused to take to the air to protect the I-lomeland. Although on ensuing days half-hearted attacks against units of the Task Force were made by enemy planes, individually and in small groups, no airborne opposition was at any time encountered by our planes, and the ship's guns never opened fire. 4 , - - ' I . .

During the fol- lowing weeks effective attacks were made only when study of photographs enabled our pilots to concentrate on good planes and to leave alone the more obviously placed duds and dummies. The technique of destroying grounded planes involved low-level flying over areas well protected with anti- aircraft fire and was an important cause of the Air Groups casualties during the operations: ten pilots and four aircrewmen listed as killed or missing in action. Another factor which had to be reckoned with throughout the operation was the weather. Low-lying clouds and fog frequently blanketed tar- get areas, particularly in the north, and forced repeated changes of plans. The second strike day of the operation was Iuly 14, with the northernmost island of Hokkaido as the target area. Bad weather prevented our planes from reaching the assigned airfields on the north coast but they found numerous industrial targets of opportunity to the south and east, particularly in the vicinity of Kushiro. Planes from the Lexington, on combat air patrol and photographic missions, covered the battleship and cruiser bombardment of the lmperial Iron Works at Kamaishi, first sur face bombardment of the war against the main lapanese islands. CURTAINS EOR THE IAP FLEET On fuly l5 Hokkaido was again the target area. On luly 15 the British Task Force 37, under com- mand of Vice-Admiral Rawlings, joined Task Eorce 38 and began operations much as if it were a fourth Task Group. After fueling, Task Group 38.l moved south and on the l7th and 18th again struck airfields north of Tokyo, also engaging on the l8th in a large-scale attack on the battleship Nagato at an attack which dam- the Yokosuka Naval Base, aged but did not sink the vessel. After this days strikes, the Task Force withdrew for several days of rest and replenishment. The attack was resumed on July 24. For the strikes on that day the force moved to the and from a position south of Kobe, some 130 miles off the island of Honshu, four strikes were northwest launched against Hamamatsu and five other fields assigned to the I-9XmQton.

More effective were two strikes against remnants of the Iapanese fleet at Kure, where three hits were scored on the carrier Katsuragi, two hits on the converted battleship lse, seven hits on the cruiser Aoba, two hits on the cruiser Oyodo, and two hits on the un.- finished carrier Aso, South of Kure a 5200-ton tanker was sunk and a small merchant ship left in a sinking condition, Efforts on the following day, Iuly 25, were largely abortive, due to weather, but on Iuly 28, Air Group 94 enjoyed its most successful day to date. Effec- tive attacks were riiade against Iap planes at Oi, Mikatagahara, Hamamatsu and other airfields southeast of Nagoya. Only two planes were seen to burn but on the basis of repeated low-level strafing the day's total was claimed to be forty-one planes destroyed, sixteen probably destroyed and twenty-six planes and two gliders damaged. Two strikes went back to Kure to finish the damaged lse, and Aoba. Hits were scored on both ships which were last seen badly battered with the lse in flames, the Aoba a resting on the bottom. lAPAN THROWS IN THE TOWEL On Iuly 30 effective planes concealed in the vicinity of the fields south- east of Nagoya which had been targets of Air Group 94 on three previous days.

Returning to the attack on August 13, Air Group 94 was sent against an electric company at Kawasaki. Haze and low clouds in the Tokyo area prevented most ot the planes from reaching the target, where re- sults were unobserved. Alternative industrial tar- gets were hit and other strikes of the day made a good score in strating and bombing planes dis- persed around Nasuno and other fields in the valleys north of Tokyo. ln the vicinity of the force the combat air patrol shot down an itinerant Iill, first and only airborne victim ot Air Group 94. Alter lueling on the l4th the Task Group returned to hit the Tokyo area again on the l5th. The first strike bombed installations at Hyakurigahara, but before the succeeding strike could reach the as- signed targets it was recalled, orders having been received to suspend all further air operations in' view of the lapanese agreement to surrender. Al- though for the next day or two occasional Iapanese planes were reported near the force, none ap- proached this ship and none were seen by planes of Air Group 94.

The period of marking time terminated on August 25 when the Lexington moved to within approxi- mately lUO miles off the coast of l-lonshu and began a series of patrol missions designed to precede and accompany the initial occupation landings to be made in the Tokyo area. Our planes were directed to patrol coastal waters and airfields, to fly over populated centers, to locate prisoner-of-war camps and to be constantly on the alert for any indication of treachery on the part of the Iapanese. Five prisoner-of-war camps were located, each marked with large letters PW and identified by hundreds of hysterical white men. Within two hours after the camps had been sighted a Lexington flight was on its way toward the camps loaded with l3UO pounds of supplies, toilet articles, food, clothing, magazines, comic strips and a specially printed edition of the Sunrise Press, the Lexington daily newspaper, were loaded into sea bags for the pris- oners.

This halted the restless movement which had never ceased since she quit Leyte Gulf 67 days earlier, and brought to a satisfying con- clusion the fighting history begun off the beaches of Tarawa two years before. is m 1, I J N z QQ' ' xi E 51 'X 'M 'x- y. s tx' ,il lr ' 'I PM 'll if f ., - 1 ii.t-if . , ff ' lil- 1 t -Lu' ' Ll ' If - ' 3 .

N ww-54' THE SCORESHEET FOR THE LEXINGTON From September 18, 1943, to December 17, 1943: from March 3. 1944 to March 17, 1945: and from Iune 13, 1945 to De- cember 3, 1945, the Lexington operated in the forward areas of the Pacific west of Pearl Harbor. During that time She participated in 35 major actions: her planes shot down 387 planes in the air and destroyed 645 on the ground: they sank or damaged 588,000 tons of naval vessels and 497.000 gross tons of merchant shipping: they dropped 2035 bombs on airfields and 700 on factories. Her own guns got 15 planes, with 5 assists , She was damaged twice. This impressive record is now proudly displayed on her island. Above appears the records for each air group-Air Groups 16, 19, 20, 9, and 94 fsince the war, Air Group 92 relieved 941. A flag represents a plane in the air: the sitting duck so many planes on the ground: the warship and cargo ship sinkings are obvious, as are the hangar and factory.

Here is the story of a typical strike day that will disclose the chief functions of the Air Depart- ment's divisions. The human interest behind this bare narrative can never be related. But, let it be known, the sweat and sacrifice implied in such scenes was Americas truest secret weapon. Here is an average day with the Air Department aboard the i'Blue Ghost. ALL IN THE DAY'S WORK The Air Department, the main artery of carrier life, had six branches, known as V-l, V-2, V-3, V-4, V-5 and V-6, comprising altogether a team of over l000 men ..., It was the beginning of morning as the Carrier Lex steamed along the waters just off the coast of an island in the Philippines. The bitter wind that broke across the bow and gained fOrCe GS if whipped along the flight deck chilled to the very core the men who manned her. The ship was making a high-speed run toward its target to cover the invasion of a small island that would soon serve as a vital base for U. S. troops. Suddenly light glared from the horizon and with- in a matter of minutes the entire task force was visible: morning-and with it the threat of attack. This was the time for greatest vigilance, and for if ---gs... H 3'- l. RT last-minute preparations against enemy submarines and planes. The winged rising sun usually ap- peared with nature's sun, but even more suddenly. l'All hands put on flash gear-Bogiesf' General Quarters soundedl The fast and throb- bing notes of the bugle stimulated the movement of the crew to its tempo. Three thousand men an- swered the alert and took positions at their battle stations with a minimum of delay. The loud speaker blasted final instructions to the pilots, as the air- plane engines swelled to a roar. Bogies 50 miles off the starboard bow, prepare to scramble planes. This was the wartime Air Department, when a skilful team of fighters, bombers and torpedo planes sped to a distant point to deliver knockout punches against a powerful enemy fortressg Tarawa, Saipan, Formosa, Manila, Tokyo. The massive flight deck didn't glitter from constant field days as it does today. The planks were saturated with oil and the surface was scarred with the 23,000 aircraft land- ings since the commissioning of the Lex. Bogies 30 miles out. Launch planes. Hellcats, Corsairs, Avengers and Helldivers had all been spotted in a condition of readiness since 2 A.M. that morning. Early reveille for the Air Department was held at 0115 .... Since that time the airdales had been preparing the deck for an immediate launch to repel just such an emergency . W,-f---- 'f wW'4 I DEPART attack. The fighters will be catapulted on the turn into 'the wind. Everything that was a tentative plan the night before now is reality. The first fighter leaves the deck as the sling shot sends him soaring into the air. The second follows directly and the third and fourth, until the floating airfield is left empty. The noise of the propellers has taken to the sky and the robust excitement of the men on the air strip van- ishes with the deckload. As our planes joined with other units of the fast Carrier Task Force they returned to circle above the fleet formation. For a brief while, hundreds of planes blanketed the sky above and gave each man a thrill of power. Then the Combat Air Patrol is sent out against the bogies, and the first strike leaves for the target. Soon we hear that the incom- ing raid has been broken up. Permission to remove flash gear. The radar screen is free of strangers. Meanwhile the deck is again being spotted to launch the second strike. Time passes rapidly and in a few hours the same scene is again enacted. The second strike is launched shortly before the first one returns to home base. By this means, the target is saturated with continuous strikes. Our own Combat Information Center informs us that Lexington planes are nearing base and are ready to orbit over ship. l'Prepare to land aircraft. Again groups of men wait patiently at their posts to bring the returning strike safely aboard. The landing signals officer rogers g his team of men is ready. Land planes. The first plane drops from the waiting flight and circles in for a landing. The Landing Signals Offi- cer creates a picturesque statue as he stands on his platform on the port side of the stern. The two flags held firmly in his hands guide the planes onto the strip. Metal cables across the width of the deck are elevated to a high enough level to catch the tail hooks of the landing planes. There are many haazrds that exist during a landing. Frequently the enemy leaves his mark and the planes return badly shot up. At times the wheels have been shot off, or the tail hook, or the flaps, or the pilot has been injured. C.l.C. reports that plane No. 18 has lost his wheels and the pilot requests permission to come aboard. The Air Boss consents but tells the radio operator to inform the pilot he will land last. The men on the flight deck speculate as the last plane orbits above andithen rounds the circle to approach. ffl? 1 I IR DEPART Fire fighters and various crews are standing by for a crash. The pilot brings the plane in for a beautiful belly landing. The barriers stop the skidding plane from crashing headlong into the planes spotted on the bow. The switches are cut promptly and fire ig prevented. Throughout the day such events recur. The air- dales have become so adapted to the routine that they accept an l8-hour day filled with such events as Hjust another day. Throughout this day each division had concen- trated on its own special task: V-l's plane handlers, directors and repair crew had spotted the deck, launched the flights, and controlled the taxiing pilots after they landed aboard. - V-2's aircraft maintenance men saw that each plane was ready, assisted the pilot, and received his report of performance at the end of the flight. Cn them depended the flyability of l03 compli- cated aircraft. V-3 manned the radars, the eyes of the ship. They guided friendly planes and warned of enemies. Radarmen have watched some of the greatest air battles in history take place before their eyes. ln addition, they can warn of land, clouds, ships and other obstructions. xt I! li , :....., ' -nnli if --..I 1 ,Q V-4 had the Yeomen who manned the battle phones and transmitted messages from station to station during G.Q. , the aerographers whose weapons were their delicate instruments and sensi- tive gauges: and the photographers who spotted targets and recorded performance by their pictures, V-5 were the ordnance men who placed the 2000- pound bombs and rockets safely in the bomb-bays and under the wing tips. V-0 had arresting gear gangs, who manned the barriers and the metal cables that grasp the tail hooks, the catapult gang, who sent the planes soar- ing into the air, and the gasoline gang who gassed the planes for the launch and degassed them after the landing. Air Control is a little blister on the island struc- ture, three decks above flight level. From here the Air Boss conducted the flights, drew up the plans, and administered an over-all supervision. Air Offi- cers we will always remember are: Commander B. Wright, Commander L. B. Sutherland, Commander T. A. Ahroon, Commander P. P. Barrick and Com- mander R. E. Steiler. Their judgment and experi- ence made possible the efficient operation of the whole organization. Under their watchful eyes, such scenes of skill and coordination as that we have described were a daily commonplace on the Blue Ghost. f , ,ww fi Z . i,--V ...uni U44 .

The gun crewmen in full battle dress handling heavy projectiles or hot brass cases, working beside men who are making delicate adjustments and correc- tion in their sighting mechanisms, form the spec- tacular side of the modern Navy's Gunnery Depqft- ment. It is true that during encounters with the enemy these men hold in their hands the difference between success and failure. Actually, however, only a fraction of the time at sea during the war was spent in encounters with the enemy, it is in the long days and hours between these actions that the other side of the Gunnery Departments life is best seen. The men who man the guns in action are also the men responsible for most of the heavy work around the ship when normal routine is in force. The first five gunnery divisions are classed as Deck divisions and as such have numerous jobs to perform in the maintenance and operation of the ship. For all special operations each deck divi- sion has a station to man: during fueling they handle lines and fuel hoses which need constant tending, they handle mooring cables, anchors and all other equipment involved in bringing the ship to a dock or mooring, when ship to ship transfers are necessary at sea these men get the job. Each of these operations requires the ultimate in effi- ciency and timing. These men share the pride of their leaders in jobs done during this war which were never equalled nor even thought possible before. Besides the deck divisions there are the Ma- rines or 6th Division, the lookouts and boat crews in the 7th and the fire controlmen and magazine men in the 8th. Each of these groups has special responsibilities and although they may be called upon to help out in other jobs their primary function is their own specialty. The traditional function of the Marine Corps as a unit of the United States Naval Services is to form an ever-ready body of men to attack, secure, and defend advanced bases from which the ships of the Navy can operate. To do this job more effi- ciently in a war as large as this one has been, the Marine Corps has formed divisions known as the Fleet Marine Force, but the detachments on ships at sea are still qualified to do a Marines job should the need arise, as was amply demonstrated when the detachment of the Lexington went ashore as a part of the Third Fleet Marine Landing Force at Yokosuka Naval Air Base and occupied it as a part of the initial occupation forces of lapan. Cn board the ship, the Marines count among their more normal duties the standing of orderly watches, providing a bodyguard and helper for the Captain and the Executive Officer, and, when there is a flag aboard, for the Admiral and the Chief of Staff. ln addition to that, the detachment provides a brig sentry, prisoner chasers, and a brig warden, plus a lifebuoy watch on the fantail. They provide for the security of the ship and, of course, man the guns, for guns of all shapes, sizes and functions form an integral part of every Marine's life from the time he enters the Corps until he leaves it. The Lexington detachment is at home among the after 20-mm. guns of the anti-aircraft battery. The lookouts are specialists in recognition and in measures of preparedness. Twenty-four hours a day the lookout stations must be manned. The detection of enemy aircraft, mines, submarines or other enemy forces is the first essential of defense. Lexington lookouts have repeatedly been the first to sight approaching attackers and alert the ships guns. The 8th Division has the large and often tedious task of maintaining the fire control equipment. Keeping this maze of delicate machinery adjusted to perfection and operating through all types of foul weather requires months of training and long hours of work. The other half of the 8th Division spends much time below decks in the magazines that hold the millions of rounds of ammunition for the guns of the ship as well as the variety of fireworks car- ried for our aircraft to hurl at the enemy. lt is at the moment of battle that these various groups band together to form an operating unit for the defense of the ship. While under attack each man has a responsibility and by a good perform- ance can make the team a success in knocking the enemy planes from the sky. The ship has been hit only twice in over two years of the most daring types of operations. Our guns have been the first to open fire and keep attacks away from this ship and others of the group. Ship's guns have ac- counted for fifteen planes independently and for nearly an equal number of assists. Long hours at General Quarters in cold winds or hot suns did not wear away the sharpness of eye or the keenness of mind which was necessary to stop the attack. Vi wif fk+ I ! ,v ,4 ?

The heart of this body is the steam drum, into which water is pumped and steam is drgwn off through steel pipes to the main engines and auxiliary machinery Just as the human heart takes impure blood and pumps pure blood through the arteries to the muscles and body tissue. Blood in the human body acquires its energy from, food in the stomach, the Lexs blood acquires its energy from the fires in the boiler furnace. The air for her lungs comes from blowers forcing air into her boiler casing. The men who care for the body of the Lex are BfDivision personnel. They tend the fires and water that make the pure blood which flows through the Lexis arteries to supply her with energy and power. The entire attention of the fireroom people is de- voted to the care and operation of their Hpotsj Machinist mate repairmen keep the auxiliary ma- chinery in top operating condition and the oil kings see that the heart uses the proper type blood and her stomach has ample and good food. lust as the fireroom is the body of the engineering plant so the engine rooms are the legs of our me- chanical man. ln fact, it could be said that the thighs are her main engines, the calves are the ff F DEP RT shafts: and the feet are the propellers. There is a lot of power in the Lex's mighty muscled legs power enough to drive her above 30 knots for exe tended periods of time, a relentless untiring force possible only for strong machines well cared for and efficiently operated. The operators and cares takers of these legs are M-Division men and they see to it that when the Lex has to put to sea she moves in a brisk, businesslike manner. The different pieces of equipment belonging to A-Division are many and varied, so that it all may be classified as either arms, hands or fingers of our man. The arms could well be the two steering units, while the hands would be the machine shop and the metalsmith shop, The boats, ships service steam, air conditioning, refrigeration, air compres- sors, evaporators, tool issue room, airplane eleva- tors, diesels and log room are all the fingers. Each of these members has its own function in our man but some work for the health and comfort of the crew as well. Examples are ice boxes to keep fresh food, fresh water for showers and drinking, heaters for the ship and hot Water for the washrooms, boats for liberty, stoves for cooking food, air conditioning for the sick bay, gedunk for dessert, and on the side cumshaw work for the kid back home. ,4- I' , ' if , N V,-9,1 LW' ..,, AW' , wzabify' A .Ki I W ' 7 an ENGINEERING JE DEPART B Division fn-f X., 1 y , Ur., - i ' Q u fi , ',,L,,f,ww ' 5 ,... ne ui ga wo -Q. ,4 NGA Q6 LO' 4 I NGINEERI G DEPART The electrical equipment aboard the Lex will rightly stand for the nerve system for her engineer- ing man. The motor nerves of the system would be our four main generators, for which, incidentally, M-Division machinist's mates keep the driving part turning over, Then the cables and leads would be the network of connector cells, while the receptor cells would be all other electrical equipment aboard the ship. The navigation equipment, such as the gyros, dead reckoning tracer, and many other give our man sight, while the guns and fire control equipment give her powerful punch, such nerves are vital. Other nerves are convenient and pleasant to have, as for example the Ioe pots, hot plates, fans, radios, movies, and flood lights and loud speakers for our happy hours. The electricians mates of the power and distribution gang tend all this equipment and repair electrical machinery. The men from the interior communications and central station details care for the delicate instruments and equipment. X The plant and the trainers and operators have accomplished some astonishing things. The ship has steamed 204,735 miles from commissioning to Ncvember l, l045, burned 910,878 barrels of fuel oil, distilled 58,220,000 gallons of water. I-ler l50,000- igorsepower has always, except when the ship was torpedoed, been available when needed. The men who cared for and operated the plant deserve the credit, at times working in temperatures up to 130 degrees on the floorplates. Like all trainers and operators, their job has been hard and hot, sweaty 'ina stinking, but they did it and did it well. - ,.. .z ,. . 1.0, fNAVIG THC? The personnel of N Division is made up of quar- termasters, yeomen, buglers, and the band. Let us hear from them in order. QUARTEHMASTERS There is little doubt that we are the men in the middle, for most of our million and one duties are concerned with the preservation of the contact be- tween the command and the crew, in maneuvering the ship, in administering the ship, and in navigat- ing the ship. Nothing makes us more angry than to have a civilian remark: Oh, you are a quarter- rnaster. What is that, a supply rate? As a matter of fact, supply is about the only thing we haven't got much of a finger in. We have done practically everything on the bridge and quarterdeck but a triple somersault. We have corrected every chart for the areas from Timbuctoo to Wolf Trap Light- house finclusivei and points north, east, south and west. We have steered, ieered, painted, swabbed, repaired, adjusted and denounced every square inch of the bridge Cincluding the wings and that cussed splinter shieldl, Battle ll, the quarterdeck, and Steering Att. We know a little about compasses, bearing circles, time ticks, Mercator projections, gyro Compasses, stadirrieters, range finders and a DEP RT thousand other gadgets essential and ornamental to the proper functioning of the pilot house. We are expert paint chippers and phone answerers, passa- ble talkers on the sound power circuits, and double on the side as keepers of the loe pot and chroniclers of the log. Boy, are we busy! But we don't have a darn thing to do with supply, We get a lot of laughs out of the deal and a lot of opportunity to see events as they happen. The brains of the ship ffiguratively speakingl are in the pilot house-thus the impulses from every part ot the ship are conveyed there. We are privileged to know the immediate intentions, the actual move- ments, the emergencies, the whole situation as it exists abcve and below decks. Sometimes we even get a cup of wardroom coffee fvile stuff, by the wayl. We can see the sun come up and set tand record it in the logl. We can see the stars come out Cand take sights on theml. We can watch the clouds X I1 Q i ins' ,f-lvl Q l i l i i roll by tand jot down what kind they arel. If it is l Z a nice day we have to describe it in the columns i log.

We have had N Division lim I tl 3 t Wx. t x if I F H' N i l l i 4 77 some tight squeezes at most unexpected times, but we are proud to say that action on the part of our lads has brought us safely to port. Ideas, special knowledge and a heck ofa lot of work ha nated from the division. ' We have followed every path of the Blue Ghost in the planning, in the executing, in the recording. We have taken orders from and made friends with nearly all the officers aboard. We have watched our gunners blaze away at the enemy. We have seen her pilots make history. We have made friends with her Hsnipes' over the UV phones. We have delivered valuable dope from her lookouts and C.l.C. We have to step over her electricians in port and under way. We have grown in the process to know her like a book and in the knowing to fall a little in love with her. But lets get this straight: We haven't a darned thing to do with supply, ve GITICI- Tl-lE BUGLERS We are also the men in the middle-strictly in the middle as far as reveille is concerned.

All in all, we lead a busy if none too happy life THE BAND Our job it is to make like Dorsey, lames, Goode man, Krupa and Tatum, to entertain, provide ree laxation and relief from the strain of hectic times and otherwise keep the morale of the entire ships personnel at a high level. We've had breaks both good and bad. We've played in some of the swanks iest officers clubs the Navy has, and ridden in some of the vilest garbage trucks to get to them. We formed the unit in music school at San Diego and left the States early in August 1944. With us then were some of the best in the profession, some of whom we lost along the way, and some of whom are still with us. At the present writing we consist i I ' 1 I 4 N it 'N Y l DEP RT E ,-xl vi men who have played with the best, some day will play with, and perhaps will be, the tops-symphony men, theater men, dance men, col- lege men, men who have learned trades such gg building locomotives, machinists, teachers, lawyers, grocers, and business managers. We, too, stood practically all the watches on the bridge. For a long time it seemed that in order to make lvlus2c we must know the r.p.m. table back- ward and forward, be qualified helmsmen, be able to plot accurately bogies and surface gadgets, and be able to pick up pips on the radar scope be-fgre C.l,C. or the operator spotted them. Since the end of the war, when we were relieved by the gunnery department, we have been able to devote all our time to rehearsing, and to playing for the crew and the officers. To those who have been our shipmates we wish to say, lt's been swell knowing you, and sailing with you. We've done our share of griping, but all in all weve enjoyed our association with the Lex and the men of the Lex. We only hope that our efforts have helped to make your stay aboard a little brighter and a little more pleasant than it would have been otherwise. If we've done that, then our efforts have been rewarded.

They don't tell the whole story: the hot, rainy nights spent on the signal bridge when life becomes a sticky, sweating ordeal, or the endless hours copying code in the Radio Shack while your eyelids seem like lead weights and you wish you had time to crawl into a corner and die, or the furious, all-night sessions in the office with the mimeograph clattering a steady 'xtime for bed, time for bed and all the typewriters beating their brains out while the yeoman striker sticks his head up from a mountain of papers and says a quick silent prayer before the First Class yells, Stop dreamin' and get to work. The whole story is still untold because between the extremes there is a whole pattern of dramatic and drab living, fun and work, all mixed together to make up the life of the communicator. The books define Communications as an aid to command. Putting the definition into practice means that communicators must provide a way ot talking to other ships and shore stations, keep a record of these conversations, handle mail and see that the word gets around to the people con- cerned. A large variety of complicated equipment is used to accomplish this purpose. For talking tc nearby ships and stations we use flashing light, semaphore, flag hoists, and a very high frequency radio. To send messages to distant places high- power transmitters are used which have antenna towers over fifty feet high. intricate and highly secret pieces of equipment are used to decipher the codes in which messages are sent. Two vast offices, the Captains Office and the Executive Officers Office, handle all ships correspondence and per- sonnel. ln short, communications provides not only the link with the outside world, but is necessary to the proper functioning of administration on board. Without it Command could not operate on a large scale. A group of highly trained, quick-thinking officers and men must apply its principles with dexterity and skill or else the complicated mech- anism will collapse. The Communications Department of the Lexing- ton has won an enviable reputation.

F, Carney, the Lexs roster of Communi- cation Cfficers, the department functioned as a single team. The signalmen work close to the bridge and under the eagle eye of the Captain and Gfficer of the Deck. They keep a constant lookout for signaling vessels and with instant accuracy report flag hoists to conn. Tactical signals are transmitted largely by flags and the speed and accuracy of interpretation by the signalmen determines the smartness with which the ship maneuvers. Our signal gang has won high praise from all of the Lex's Captains. They man the flag bags, signal lights and other signal apparatus in all weathers for 24 hours in every day--a tough Job which has been consistently well done. The Radio gang works around the clock keeping guard on important radio circuits, checking trans- mitters for proper frequencies, drinking at least ten gallons of coffee each day, and sacking out every 2 Dxvxsxon K. 3' . 4-f 1, J .f:r ' ' -.1 ft' x Q L .f Y' K .T-' ' V ' ri' 'T 1 yd ' X Qui, ,-'lv-H' R f s- ,xiii ,W :Qin F ., is Q , i , W. .

Often they receive code messages at twenty-five to thirty words per minute and our press man copies at more than forty-five words per minute Our radio men have copied messages without a single mistake while ships guns were repelling enemy attacks, and even when the ship was hit by a suicide plane and the radio shack filled with smoke. When the torpedo struck on 5 December l943 Radioman Banks was thrown from his seat. I-le calmly stood up and continued typing his message without missing a single character. Messages which have marked the highlights oi the Pacific War have been copied in the l.ex's radio room. During the second Battle of the Philips pine Sea, when our early morning search had finally contacted the fapanese Fleet, the Radiomen recorded the famous message, Carrier burning. lt was confirmation that the attack was on and the cue for Admiral Mitscher to launch a full-scale at- tack. The drama in the radio shack is the same as the drama of a big league baseball game watched from a box seat. Our communications yeomen who handle moun- tains ot paper each day in the Comm. Office, the Captains Office, and the Execs Office deserve loud praise for the magnificent job they have done to keep the flood of administration details in accurate files. They make order out of what seems limitless chaos. They work until the early hours of the morn- ing on personnel and operational details and when General Ouarters sounds they man the dune Oni yeomen have struggled, and been killed side cf side with the aunners. Then, when secure trf CLO. sounded, they went below to catch uri on :lf work which was interrupted by the incoming attack Their work has been a splendid example of skill intelligence and infinite courage Our yeomen sgtana high on the list for acts of individual heroism ana sacrifice. The Communications Department boasts cf two other, smaller branches which have made their influence felt more strongly than any other groups The Mailmen, who work like ants around their stacked bundles of mail and somehow straighten the mass of letters and packages out, and the printers who in addition to their regular chores print the newspaper, the Sunrise Press, menus and sous venir bulletins. They have helped make the long months away from home seem more bearable With out them wed be a pretty unhappy lot of sailors, We pay special tribute to our deceased comrades, Lieutenant Commander Lane D. Coss, our boss, was killed in action when the Kamikaze crashed into the signal bridge. With him a number of our closest friends perished. We revere their memory and are proud to have been close to such grand people, A vital link in the life of our carrier, Communica- tions has fulfilled its duties with efficiency and hero- ism. When the deeds of the Lex are summedvup, a notable contribution will be credited to the com- municators. K-3 Division 0'l.Qf I 5 3 fl il - Q W 91 CUMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT M i1 PPLY DEPARTME T Every man has seen the Supply Department in action every day. The crew depends on Supply for what it eats and wears and the equipment it works with, for the money it spends and for something to spend it on. Commander lohn I. Iecklin organized the department originally, and Commanders Allan M. Gray and Warren E. Cliver have carried on the work. The heart of Supply are the CfeeEssKay boys, who are experts on how many copies of what forms to fill out in order to get a screwdriver or an airplane. They keep wonderful records that are guaranteed to tell, within a few hundred per cent error, just how much of anything but dust there is in any storeroom. Their job is a tough one, because besides knowing the correct source of supply for any item of equip- ment, they have to know all the places and tech- niques for completing rush orders and obtaining supplies when routine methods fail. And after an item of supplies comes aboard it is consigned to one of thirty-odd storerooms, all of'which have to be kept clean and orderly and painted. Who has not stood in line for an hour until he was second man from the window, only to see a sign go up, Clothing and Small Stores Closed? But the C and SS boys have troubles of their own, from ordering shoes in assorted sizes and getting back ' ' fgff-..8eff-EA, mostly sixes and thirteens to explaining where Il1C1f one missing black sock went. The closest section of Supply to every man aboard is Commissary. The cooks and bakers can't miss a meal, whether the ship is in battle or at anchor and whether the storerooms are loaded with turkey and fresh vegetables or nothing but Spam. Usually the cooks are hampered by lack of a variety of food supplies to work with, but they have shown what they can do with a couple of sensational Thanks giving feasts. The job of feeding the crew under the best of circumstances is staggering for size-a mere scrambled egg breakfast means 600 dozen cackle- berries, and every week's feeding takes six tons of flour and five tons of potatoes. ln combat, half of commissary moves topside to provide warm food for gun crews, and for night working parties there are midnight snacks. The bakers deserve special men- tion, not just for the l500 loaves of fresh bread they can put out in a day, but for their 4.0 line of pies. However, we suspect that in years to come the fondest memories of Commissary will be for that great innovation, canned butter, and the various forms of stew, hash and Spam. The oldest unit of Ship's Store is the canteen, specializing in toilet articles and stationery at far below civilian prices. From time to time Ship's Store S-I Division -qv it fm A pm, in 31 -f il l 9 l ,J has been able to sell such wartime rareties as wrist watches, alarm clocks, fountain pens and cigarette lighters. The canteen storekeeper can tell you that the Lex men ought to be clean, lor in a month he has sold tour bars ot soap for every man aboard. ln December of '44 the Ships Store absorbed Ships Service, so that laundry, tailoring and shoe repair could be done tree ol charge. The biggest attraction in the enlarged Ships' Store is the loun- tain, for candy, cokes, cigarettes and ice cream. ln one month the Lex men stowed away thirty bars ot candy per man, and Ships Store made a gallon and a halt of gedunks for every man. Everybody tries to make lriends with the barbers, for their specialty is making a man look like either a salt or a boot. Some of them even know how to give a haircut, and they've all been up late nights lowering ears tor Captains inspection. The laundrymen specialize in delicate shades ot grey. All they have to do is try to get stacks ol clothes clean in salt water, using equipment that loves to break down, working in a tepid compart- ment, and then keep all the clothing straight by divisions. The tailor shop has done an amazing job of keep- ing everyone satisfied, even with the tlood ot post- war Alnavs. And the Lex is especially proud oi S-2 Division ,,, f was 4, xi S . y , A-ppb-..,44 ..

Aviation supply became so important in this war that a special petty otlicer rating was established, just to try to keep up with the changing instructions. And theres no job like moving a two-ton engine about when the ship is in motion, or like storing and handling delicate parts so that they will weather the typhoon season undamaged. The S-2 Division men have the great task ot keep- ing the otticers ot the ship happy. lt's up to them to prepare and serve the otticers' meals, and to keep the wardroom clean and in order. They are sup- posed to tigure out what an otticer means when he asks tor a steak thats well done, but a little on the rare side. They care tor the otticers' staterooms and are expected to be able to make up a bunk and change the sheets without waking the otticer.

Even for their privilege ot eat- ing wardroom chow, and lots ol it, few ot the boys trorri other divisions would want their job. --ly'-1 I 8 --an f' , LL DEPARTME The advent of war gave the l-lull Department on capital ships an entirely new significance, The need for guick functioning, well trained damage control parties was all too well realized after Pearl Harbor. Efforts were made by the Bureau of Ships to estab- lish and synchronize damage control methods on all ships. By continuous research into damage con- trol methods, the theory and practice of fire fighting, the control of underwater damage and a multitude of other problems, the Bureau and its ships were able to effect procedures which kept our combat 1? W' A CN ships afloat. Ships damaged to a degree made it seem impossible that they would ret: afloat have been saved by these efficient iiietii repaired and sent out to fight again. The First Lieutenant and his men shouldere big job in mastering and making effective all of new procedures for keeping our fighting ships afL They assumed the responsibility for keeping in X stant repair many miles of fire main, drainage ventilation piping. They accomplished hundred alterations to the ships hull, many times work sl.-T' L14 D P1 C3 L 0 T 'A i.......,.Q--1 -x M 1bvQ k-riff J Q. V 1 i I 5 B during battles to finish an important job. Hundreds of job orders from all the d have kept the First Lieutenants gang busy, but the ship has been in tip-top shape at all times ag d result. epartments on the ship lt is as impossible for the First Lieutenant to deter- mine where and when the ship will be damaged as it is for the Gunnery Officer to know from which bearing the next enemy airplane will attack. Dam- age control men have to be prepared to effect imme- diate repairs in any part of the ship, from the bilges to the radar antennae. To familiarize oneself com- pletely with a ship the size of the Lexington is not an easy task. Yet each man in the l-full Department is required to know his ship. Each new man in the department is required to attend lectures and follow experienced men in tours through the ship. While the ship is under way damage control drills are held almost daily. 'This is a drill-torpedo hit at frame l85, starboard, over the squawkbox, has been a familiar sound. During these drills men break out equipment, simulate fighting fires, shoring bulk- heads, draining flooded compartments and gener- ally receive instructions which will help them act quickly and decisively when the need arises. On the two occasions when the Lexington was dam- aged, this training paid its dividends. No time was lost in effecting repairs and the ship continued to fight with unimpaired efficiency. During the war, damage control parties stood around-the-clock watches at all repair stations. There never was a time when instant action could not have been taken to combat sudden damage to the ship. All of the men who stood the watch had been trained in fire-fighting at one of the llavys l'crack schools. They knew their equipment and were better equipped than any fire department ever has been Foam, fog, CCD, and salt water that the engineers kept at l25 pounds pressure were at their disposal at all times. They could walk into a burn- ing compartment with a rescue breather, or asbestos suit and a hose gushing water without fear. The success of the Lexingtons fire fighting has been due to this excellent training and equipment. There have been many fires on the Lexington, but never one that got out of control. On December 5, l943, when the Lexington was hit by an aerial torpedo, it required prompt action to prevent the underwater damage from spreading. Men from Repair lll isolated the damage, segre- gated a damaged fire main, shored bulkheads, res- cued trapped personnel and had the ship on an even keel, all within two hours. On November 5, 1944, when the Lexington was hit by a Kamikaze, men from Repair Vlll, l and ll fought fires in and around the island structure and in ready service ammunition rooms, removed wounded men and had the ship ready to fight within forty-five min- utes. The excellence of their work was rewarded by several special commendations. Controlling damage in action is not the only Hull Department problem. During periods of inactivity, when the ship is anchored and being replenished, the shipfitters and carpenters go about their job of keeping the vital hull systems of the ship in fighting condition. Work is handled by the various construc- tion and repair shops. To men from the Shipfittefs Shop falls the respon- I l l V I ii 'l I t A I l l l i LL DEP RT i sibility for maintenance and upkeep ot the hull structure. Their task is a large one. Each day they receive numerous job orders. Those ot military ina portance are accomplished immediately. Such Jobs as constructing an armored bulkhead around the Contlagration Station or watertight hatches tor sec ond deck openings require many hours ot tiring work. Keeping three city blocks ot solid steel in repair is a prodigious task. The shiptitters have never let us down, Men from the Cc1rpenter's Shop have varyina re- sponsibilities: They must know modern damage control methodsg they maintain and repair the ships boatsg they are constantly required to construct equipment for the ship. Our plumbing and pipe repair experts make their home in the Pipe Shop. They are subject to call twenty-tour hours ot each day, Their major concern is the ships tire main which required frequent re- pair. Our pipe gang has replaced hundreds ot spools in the main. The boys don't hide their dis- taste for unplugging stopped-up drains and flushing equipment, but unplug them nonetheless They work had to keep the miles of Lexington piping in operation, Damage Control Maintenance men assemble and keep all damage control equipment ready for imme- diate use. They operate and repair the hydraulic systems tor control of valves. The efficiency of their work has kept the Lexington constantly ready to meet any emergency. I-lull Department painters have made our ship titivationn program a success. They mix and issue all paint tor the ship and in their spare time paint the fancy signs that decorate the Lexington. Our Boatswains Mates are charged with super- vision ot all side cleaning, rigging, mooring, and issue ot hull equipage. They man the Sail Locker and the Forward Hold. They are in over-all charge of the crews messing, a big job on a ship as large as the Lexington. The Hull Department is a team with a multitude of duties. Hard work by all hands has kept the Lexington hull system ready either to tight a war or win approbation in a peacetime inspection.

IO ll' in N-X bsu's ssshu ill 5,29 H0 If l i EDICAL DEPART Q The Sick Bay on a large carrier of this class is located on the third deck aft. lt amounts to a compact hospital. lt has facilities to perform major cperations, routine lab work, X-ray, pharmaceutical procedures and dental treatments lt can comforta- bly accommodate about forty patients at one time, although in an emergency it can be geared up to an almost unlimited capacity. TlVhen we were hit b a kamikase, we took care of l5U patients, performed over twenty major operations successfully and numberless minor ones in a period of four days. The Surgical Dressing Room is undoubtedly the best known compartment in Sick Bay, since it is here that morning, noon and evening sick call is held. From fifty to lUU men report here daily for treat- ment and consultation. lt is capable of handling most minor operations, treatments and out-patients receiving daily treatment. Operations that cannot be performed here are referred to surgery. Surgery consists of two rooms. The smaller is a combination sterilizing, scrub and linen room. The other is the operating room proper. ln here is the operating table, shadowless lights, and a complete basic set of instruments for anything from complex brain surgery to simple suturing. About 250 opera- tions are performed aboard ship annually. Major small Y operations, where the patient requires a long re- covery period, are transferred to a base hospital or to a hospital ship. H Division Our forty-bunk ward is the largest compartment in Sick Bay. An average of fifteen patients are enrolled all the time for treatment. The four-bunk isolation ward and two surgical bed quiet rooms are also under the ward management, and a diet kitchen with electric range, oven and refrigerator is available for special diets and nourishment. The Pharmacy aboard this carrier carries a com- plete stock of drugs, from which can be compounded most common prescriptions. lt is complete in every detail, even to display bottles. Although small, the Bacteria Laboratory has the facilities to perform almost any test required, lt is staffed by one man, who is kept busy most of the day with complete blood counts, urinanalyses, cul- tures, kahns and a variety of other types of tests. Next to the lab is the X-Ray Dark Room. It is here that, the film from the portable X-ray machine is developed. One man is kept busy here most of the day taking pictures and developing them. Although small, the portable X-ray unit produces remarkable results. The Examining Room, although designed and equipped to conduct physical examinations for our pilots, also serves as our eye, ear, nose and throat clinic. lt boasts of a new modern treatment and diagnostic cabinet. Our two-unit Dental Office, capable of doing res- toration, extraction and X-ray work, is modern in fQQ. ff- N32 '-T ' NJ' xx .V 'Z NL 2f:'1i1 ,iiff 4 l. ,gl .

The three dentists are kept bug' ,. from 7:00 o'clock in the morning until 9:00 o'clock in the evening. Last, but by no means least, the Clerical Qffice is probably the busiest place in Sick Bay. lt has a threefold purpose. Besides being the seat of the administrative procedures, it is the property and accounting office, and the record office. it is there that the health records of the entire crew are mains tained. ft is through here also that all the official correspondence between the ship and the Bureau of Medlcine and Surgery is transacted. lt is staffed with one Hospital Corps Officer and three Corpsmen. Throughout the ship there are eight battle dress- ing stations. Vfhen General Quarters is sounded, during battle conditions, the medical staff of three dental officers and four medical officers, and thirty- four corpsmen disperse themselves at various sta- tions. The battle dressing stations are equipped to function independently of Sick Bay if necessary. They all contain a portable operating table, sterile set of instruments, battle dressings, cmd other neces- sary medical supplies. There are, aside from the two storerooms fore and aft, fifteen battle chests and l3O first-aid boxes scate tered everywhere from the second platform Cseventh deckl to sky one and sky two in the island structure, so as to eliminate the possibility of losing all our supplies in a single hit. Even the instruments in the operating room are divided and distributed among the battle dressing stations. ln case Sick Bay is damaged the well supplied and equipped flight deck battle dressing station takes over. The Lex has originated a simple and efficient sys- tem for handling a large number of casualties. Each member of the Medical Department is assigned a specific step in the process. As soon as the casualty can be evacuated from the battle dressing station, he is brought to the after mess hall, where a medical officer and two corpsmen examine the patient and direct the stretcher bearers to the various wards designated to take care of the specific type of patient. Meanwhile the remainder of the medical staff have formed themselves in teams-four plasma teams, one surgery team, a minor surgery team, a dressing team, a transfusion team and the different ward crews. All the serious cases are taken to the MEDICA D Sick Bay ward. The others are divided, according to their nature, and placed in the compartments surrounding Sick Bay, which are used as wards, Ag soon as all the patients are treated and are made as comfortable as possible, another team is formed for identifying the dead. This team is usually made up of a dental officer, a corpsmen, and the Chaplain. The dead are identified and buried as soon as it is possible. Now that Sick Bay and its functioning have been described, let us consider the corpsmen, or Doc, as he is affectionately known to his shipmates. Contrary to the common belief that his is the best racket on the ship, he rnust fulfill severe qualifica- tions to become a PhM. 'lDoc must not only have a working knowledge of anatomy, physiology, first aid, minor surgery, and thirty or more other subjects, but he must also be a storekeeper, yeoman, ship- fitter, chaplain and deck ape all wrapped up in one package. Since the Medical Department is operated almost independently of the Supply Department, it is neces- sary for Doc to keep his own storerooms, books and ledgers, know his stock numbers, be able to figure stowage space, etc. lf it is essential that the Doctors Gffice be moved into the Clerical Office and vice versa, or that a bulkhead be torn down, and some more shelves be nstalled in the storeroorn, and if the I-lull Depart- .gient says that it is a Navy Yard job to do this and 'vonft take it on, why, of course Doc has to do it. lt seems that all the other departments on the ship have yeomen to take care of their clerical work, but :ict so in the Medical Department. Doc is the guy vvho makes all the entries in the health records, and V t keeps all other records. Why is it that Doc has to be Mr. Anthony for a large number of the crew? Though there are two perfectly capable chaplains aboard, Doc has to ex- plain the entire operation to the party concerned, and he seldom gets further than the beans in the 'ness line before he discovers that the mess cook's wife is going to have a baby, is there anything he can do? , But putting all this foolishness aside, it can justly be said that the Lady Lex may be proud Of her Medical Department. lt has functioned efficiently and smoothly from its beginning, it has seen her and hers through two catastrophes, it has earned HS place in her organization.

' fxgmxnrg, the Rdzsvflans have rugril our War Ships fllfflw-- L g rf.. rl-fl.--.f SU RI RE Our first Sunrise Press was a two-page mimeo- graphed affair and made its appearance on our trial trip to Trinidad. Only about 200 copies were printed daily, and quite naturally there was quite a scramble to obtain a copy. Seeing that the news was not reaching the majority of the crew, it was decided that perhaps a reading of bulletins over the public address system would fill the need. This was tried for awhile, -and found lacking. So the printed edition of the Sunrise Press made its bow. It was a great success. Argument followed argument as to the make-up of the paper. Many sizes of type were tried until the present form was reached. We asked for sugges- tions from the crew, and we got them by the score. Some were incorporated into the paper. Mistakes were made and remedied. And gallons of midnight oil were burned to get the paper out daily. We had the material to work with, though. It was a time of headlines. Raids on Tokyo, B-29 sorties, Churchill's defeat and scores of other big stories were covered in our paper. Then came the big week. Russia entered the war, the first atomic bomb was dropped and Iapan sent out peace feelers. That was the sort of stuff the boys wanted to read about. And it was the sort of stuff we wanted to print.- The actual end of the war caught the SUHHSS Press a little off base. We got out a banner edition 'Ti but we were a little late with it. Nobody seemed to mind, though. With the ending of the war the news no longer seemed to be as exciting as it had been and we found it hard to play headlines that would create interest. Another thing, our mail did not catch up with us for some time and we were hard put to find material to fill up the empty gaps. The paper began to settle with a sameness that was boring to the reader and to the Editors. With these obstacles confronting us it seemed our only fate was to adopt new style in publication. Wild speculation and various ideas mixed with stimulating enthusiasm soon found a peacetime reconversion that was a great success. Shipboard activities proved to be just as newsworthy as nation-wide activities. From our mobile metropolis came stories of personalities and current happenings. The men preferred reading about their shipmates and their ship. The personal angle presented much encouragement and every- one was anxious to take an active part. The Sunrise Press was born again, maintaining the high stand- ard of publication that won her acclaim as being the best daily in the Fleet. We are very proud of the fact that our last three Executive Officers realized that the paper WGS reaching every member of the crew, and so made it a point to get special items of interest across to men through the medium of the Sunrise Press. SS Carrier-based athletes are envied by the whole fleet. The hangar deck is a natural when WGTC looking for a place to throw the football, spread the boxing canvas or just get out to run a little We have an athletic staff of an officer and three men to direct the organized sports and to keep us supplied with incidental equipment when we lust want a workout. Basketball seems to take the spotliaht for the greatest popularity Some red-hot games have come along in the divisional playoffs, and every division has plenty of interested men to make a good show ing. The Lexington Varsity has had streaks of both good and bad luck in their inter-ship competition but whatever their luck they enjoyed the game and gave the spectators some thrills. Their Pacific career was climaxed with a win over the US S. Prairie, who held the tournament title at Tokyo. ln spite of the lack of competition in the forward areas the Lexington boxing team developed into a first-class fighting machine. Daily workouts along with natural ability gave the ship a boxing team that every fan enjoyed watching. Although we-could find only a few opponents in the fleet, we scored decisively over those that did venture a match and among those we met we can claim the champion- ship. Organized sports give way at this point and we find the majority of the extra energy going into games of volleyball, badminton, touch football on the flight deck and tossing the baseball. The casual- ties are high on balls of all kinds. Once they get over the side they are hard to retrieve. Once in a while when the ship is at anchor we can hail a passenger boat to stop by and bring in our football but at best a good soaking in salt water doesn't do them much good. ln spite of the heavy work routine, limited space and equipment and the necessary operations of the ship, all the men who want to take part in athletics have a chance. And those men who took advantage of this opportunity found a splendid relaxation for War-strained nerves. 7 U P -17, Transportation found no problems lor the pedestrian. In- frequently a trolley, similar to a Toonerville. jammed full ol riders, bounded along the tracks. U. S. military vehicles made the oxcarts and charcoal burner cars look quite obso- lete.
