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.
