A IG TIO The Navigation Department aboard LEXINGTON is manned by both Quartermasters and Sig- t l t of the shi is position nalmen. Our Quartermasters are responsible for maintaining an accura e p o p and intended track using methods which range from the ancient arts of celestial navigation and de- d d k ' t the more modern electronic navigation. The expert1se of the Quartermasters is uce rec omng o heavily relied upon by the Captain, the OOD, and the Navigator. Our Signalmen are thoroughly train- ed in the same methods of visual communication that the original Blue Ghost crewmembers were: flashin li ht, semaphore, and flag hoist. Our unique operation area prevents us from communicating S S as often as we would like four Signalmen get lonelyl. When you make a trip to sea and return safely or admire the sharp appearance of the flags at full dress ship, wander up to the 0-5 level and thank a QM or SM.
