Let me know when you were
aboard so I can add you to
"Ships Company / Air Group /
Marine Detachment Pages".

This Page Updated 01.08.08 gwf

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!
