Mark-O, I couldn't help but smile at this since, as I may already have posted on the list, way in the distant past I actually did drive an aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Intrepid, now a museum in New York harbor. I was qualified as as officer-of-the-deck underway, stood regular watches on the bridge, usually had the conn during flight operations and refuelling-at-sea and in fact, my general quarters station was Junior OOD on the bridge. Brings back memories. Don't know if LUG software strips away attachments but I've attached a few photos from those days, all taken with a IIIf and either 50/2 Summitar or an ELNY 127/4,5 Wollensak Raptar. My C.O. was actually named Joe Cool [ne Kuhl]; the foxtrot flag 'two-blocked' (at top of halyard) signals that flight ops are under way. Seth
