The Yellow and Blue shirts move aircraft from the landing area to the cata- pults. The crash crew stands ever ready to respond to any and every flight deck emer- gency while the damage control personnel ensure V-1's spaces equipment are kept in top condition.

This includes two steam catapults, four arresting gear engines, pilot land- ing aid television, Fresnell Lens Optical Landing System and flight deck lighting. Most sta- tions require the men to work on the flight deck preparing the aircraft for launch or assisting in their recovery. Still more men operate the complex heavy machinery in the spaces below decks. Divided among four main Work centers, V-2 Division's 120 and highly motivated men and one woman team up with the rest of the ship's company to safely and efficiently complete over 10,000 aircraft launches each year. USS LEXINGTON holds the world's record for arres- ted landings on one ship. Each time we put to sea, we break our own record. As of January 1990, this record stood at 484,426!

OA division occupies prime real estate on the 07 level. fComplete with front and back porches and five portholes to watch the weather from.j Often ftoo oftenl referred to as weather guessers , OA division uses a multitude of electronic gadgets to gather data from across the Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. Analyzing this data, they provide the ship with up to the minute information on weather, winds, and seas. Since so many of the Lexington's operations are tied to weath- er conditions, OA division is always open for business 24 hours a day while at sea. We often refer to ourselves as The Band of Gypsies and pride our- selves in our positive attitude and sense of humor - even when the weather turns bad and everyone from the Captain to the Messdeck cooks rag us out . We rest secure in the knowledge that we're all friends and no one on the ship can do it better. BM3 THOMAS AGAN PERKINS AGAN VAUGHAN OC DIVI IO CATCC: Carrier Air Traffic Control Center is the centralized agency responsible for the status keeping of all carrier air operations and the control of all airborne aircraft under the Operations Officer's cognizance. CATCC is broken down into two branches: Air Operations CAir Opsj and Carrier Contr ll dA ' ' ' ' ' o e pproach KCCAJ. Air Ops IS the scheduling and coordinating center for all the ship's flight operations. Air Ops maintains radio communications with the shore activiti k es, eeps status of pilots' qualifications and tabulates the ship's total traps. CCA includes all operating posi tions involved in the actual radar control of airborne aircraft The Marshal Controller is res onsi- - P ble for the orderly flow of inbound traffic outside of 20 miles. The Approach Controller receives the aircraft from Marshal and vectors them to the final controller at 8 miles. The final controller radar contacts the aircraft and gives a precision approach to 3A miles at which the LSO directs the aircraft to the ship.

The traditional seafarers on any ship, the personnel of deck are responsible for the safe mooring of the ship, small boats, ship control, paint issue and the preservation of topside structures. Vir- tually all undesignated seamen report to the Deck Department to begin their Navy careers. From here they gain initial shipboard qualifications, and go on to either strike as a Boatswain's Mate or choose to pursue one of the many other ratings the Navy has to offer.
