V4 Division 1974 - 1975
U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CV-62
Air Department
"Fill 'er up, purple shirt . . . ."
The V4 Division purple shirts are responsible for
fueling and defueling all aircraft
on board Independence
Responsible for all JP-5 and AVGAS issues and
receipts. The Division averages 82 men assigned
to operate equipment in pump and filter rooms on
the 7th deck and the flight deck where actual
aircraft fueling and refueling is conducted.
Quality is of prime importance to V-4 so that they
can provide "clean, clear and bright" fuel to aircraft.
To do this, constant vigilance is maintained
both above and below decks.
