Indeed! The A-6 took up a LOT of space on Lady Lex!


Gotta ask if anybody that reads this NG CQ'ed onboard Lex..I did, in
1973...still had a mirror...

Or anybody serve onboard Lex, when she was still a CVA??


Hummmm. young whippersnappers. T2J-1 with VT-5 on the USS Antietam, CVS-36.
The only time I was ever on the Lex was for quals in an F8U-2 (1961) off San
Clemente Island.
