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

V-3 DIVISION 1970 - 1971 U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CVA-62
Air Department
"Whistles, hand signals . . . yellow shirts . . . blue shirts . . ."
If you ever tripped over a tie-down chain or bumped your head on part
of an aircraft in the hanger bay and had grim thoughts about it,
chances are you were thinking about V-3 Division.
V-3 Division provides the essential services of hanger
deck security, Integrity, and aircraft handling.
Because the hanger bay is used by all hands for different activities,
aircraft on the hanger bay are often "respotted" to the flight deck
by means of the four deck-edge elevators operated by V-3 Division personnel.
The confines of the hanger bay demand accurate judgement, top-notch
maneuvering skill and safety to place over 90 aircraft into a
little space for maintenance and repair.
