gl lwlilrisiclml G-2 Division is the only activity aboard LEXINGTON which has a scorpion for a mascot. The scorpion, an appropriate mascot for the ship's arsenal, boarded the ship during a rearming in Pearl Harbor. The Medical Department attempted to route the dangerous pet with several varieties of chemical spray, but he still may be at large in the ship's magazine? G-2 Division paints and maintains the ship's maga- zines. lts men are responsible forthe ship's array of bombs and rockets, and they maintain the small arms arsenal. The men of G-2 Division store the personal weapons of the crewmen, issue Shore Patrol gear, and maintain the ship's recreational weapons. During March of the i962-62 Cruise, G-2 Division received five T2-gauge skeet-guns. We are planning to hold skeet-shoots for the crewmembers from the fantail. arrrwry
