FIFTH DIVI IO Fifth Division is our small boat division. They are responsible for the hull maintenance, pres- ervation and operation of Lexington's two 26-foot motor whale boats, 40-foot utility boat and the Captainis Gig. Excellence is the goal here, and the impeccable military appearance of the Captain's Gig speaks for itself. Deck Department is proud of the seagoing tradition it lends to USS LEXINGTON, but it is the sailors of deck that personify the tradition. Through their dedication, long hours and enthu- siasm, LEXINGTON will continue to complete its mission in the years to come.
