.,'A N 1 kai., mph -if any V-2 DIVISION The responsibilities of V-2 Division come under the category of aircraft arrivals and departures. More specificly, they handle the operation and maintenance of Rangefs four steam catapults and four arresting gear engines. It's the men of V-2 who make the last minute 'gadjustmentsw prior to launches and who ensure planes are free of the arresting cable when aircraft are recovered. The jet blast defectors are operated, as well as maintained, by this division. One of the most important aspects of aircraft arrested landings, the fresnel lens landing system, also falls under the jurisdiction of V-2 Division. In any weather, day or night, this sophisticated electronic system is literally the pilots' guiding light to carrier landings. Airmen awaits signal from the plane captain to drop the chock that will keep this aircraft from rolling off its spot on the flight deck. ,QM fl, 9
