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".

I would like to wish all my shipmates from
blue and yellow shirt, including crash and
salvage, that it was a pleasure and nothing
but great memories, including big Bubba
during steel beach picnic, fishing over the
side, catching a fish and biting a chunk of
if and eating it raw! I know everyone
remembers bubba, right? How about the time
when Lathrop ate the mystery prize for Guns
n Roses tickets, does that ring a bell?
lol. Just want to say hello and any of you
would like to catch up on times,
send me an email: |

She was a great ship.
I had the best time of my life sailing
on her. Wish I could be back
at sea right now. |
