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.
