USS LEXINGTON Former Crew Member

Name: Ortega, Jose

Email: [email protected]

Service Dates: April 1974 - 1974

Rank/Duty Assigned: BTFA, #3 Fireroom

No. 3 Fireroom hatch was next to the chow line. So when we would see airdales in line we would turn of ventilation so that the heat would shoot up into the passage way. Dastardly snipes strike again.  Had some good times on the Lady Lex. I’ve been back once since 1990 and they are taking great care of her.
