My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.
This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.
I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.
Thank You All
For Your Support

V2 DIVISION 1982 - 1983
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CV-62
Air Department
"Green Shirts.....launch and recovery specialists..."
The Aviation Boatswains Mates, launch and recovery
specialists comprise V2 Division. It is their expertise
and vigilance that keep the INDY's four steam
powered catapults and four arresting gear
engines in a condition of peak readiness.
These 130 green shirt experts serve as aircraft hook-up
men on the catapults, aircraft weight checkers and
jet blast deflector operators.
Below the hub-bub of the flight deck these busy green
shirts watch and maintain a myriad of machinery to
operate the catapults and retract them for another
100+ mile per hour launch.
Back in the arresting gear, the deafening roar and
screech of miles of heavy cable is the only
companion to a man standing watch over
the airplane catching machinery.
V-2, another important link in the
Air Department and Independence team!

No where in the world could you get
