 USS Lexington by kyoub
Wander through the ship right down to the shafts, walk acres of flight deck, sit in a ready room waiting for the command to man planes.
View 40mm guns and a hatchway leading to a Sidewinder magazine.
See old wood still lying under the "modern" flight deck, and peer through the bullnose at the city skyline.
The last Essex class carrier to retire, the Lexington spans six decades of U.S. carrier development and is an important part of America's naval history. Leave a Comment
