I served on the Lexington when it was CVA 16 out of San Diego 1961-1962 which was the last year that the ship was part of the defense. I was on the last Cruze to the far east (Japan, Hong Kong, etc.) My name is listed in the last cruse book for CVA16. I did visit the ship when it was in Pensacola, Fl. Would like to visit again.
