.,i.1. - DIIIO Green shirts of the V-2 Division operate and maintain Lexington's aircraft launch and recovery equipment. 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!
