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
