V1 DIVISION 1974 - 1975
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE
"...flight deck drag racers in yellow gear..."
V-1 Division has the vital task of
handling aircraft on the flight deck.
Following recovery, aircraft must be
spotted for refueling and Maintenance.
The blue shirts and yellow shirts of
V-1 are continually respotting aircraft
in preparation for the next launch /
recovery cycle. After launching, V-1
men must make a "ready deck" to clear
for landing and another recovery evolution.
Maintaining a close vigil on all of these
operations are the red shirts of the crash
and salvage crew (aka: repair 8) who must
respond instantly to any emergency.
Another part of V-1's job is the operation
of "Tilly" the flight deck crane,
capable of lifting any aircraft on the ship.
The teamwork and safety awareness of
the men of V-1 to work amid the roar
of the flight deck is all part of getting
the job done without a "crunch".
