USS LEXINGTON Former Crew Member

Name: Cassel, Kevin William

Email: 1984-1988

Service Dates: DC2 / R-Div

Description:

The Lexington was my first duty station. I checked aboard June 1984, and after a short stay in I-Div I was sent to the CPO mess for my tour of mess cranking. After mess cranking, I was able to transfer to R-Div and become an HT. I worked in the DC/Carpenter shop and so when the rate split, I became a Damage Controlman. I transferred off the ship February 1988 as a DC 2. The work I did aboard the Lady Lex made me intimately familiar with the ship from bow to stern. She is a great ship and I am very proud to have served on her.
