Gouge on the flight deck "rainbow wardrobe" from the CHINFO website:

For piping, here's a "short list" of the most significant:
Fire main - RED
JP-5 Fuel line - PURPLE
Chill/feed water - LIGHT BLUE
Potable water - BLUE
HP Air - DARK GRAY
Steam lines - lagged in WHITE
Salt water - GREEN
Fuel oil/gasoline: YELLOW
For the "Real Geek" in you (courtesy of Naval Safety Center):
But there's LOTS more...like striped valve handles for various commodities. Makes my head hurt...but it's all important when things go to hell in a handbasket...

I'm guessing...just based on the forum that he posted in...that it's for the ASTB.
Flight deck jersey colors: http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/ships/carriers/rainbow.html
Pipe colors: Ask a SWO. Purple is fuel, other than that...I can't remember at all.
Edit: Damn Sir, beat me by a minute. Guess I should be studying instead of Googling this stuff
This crap is on the ASTB now? Seriously? Holy crap. I had to learn that stuff for my SWO board and then immediately brain-dumped it.
Yeah...I, too, can't believe they're wanting folks to know stuff that no rational person would know until they're actually in the Nav. Some real fleebs authoring these tests, I guess..."I know more than you know..."

Just had to add that brown shirts (line personnel) are, or were refered to as "Terd shirts". And it was not taken as an insult either. They were usually the dirtiest guys on the roof, because of the job they did. I have worn a terd shirt for many years, but now being P.C. I am sure they can't call it that any more.
Sounds like the guys working in Stan/Eval when I was in Primary....
Yeah this crap is on the ASTB. This information is not in the ARCO or in any other study material that i have found. So i am greatly appreciative for everyones response.
When i went into take the ASTB,"Computer test", some fat female was my proctor. I began to take the test and she begun to listen some talk radio like howard stern or some other cultural sewage bullshit. She then invited others into the room to listen to the radio show while i was taking the test. They all were laughing and bullshiting while i was taking the test, needless to say i was very pissed!! I am guessing i would have gotten a better score on it if they weren't in there. Then to top it all off when i was finished she congratulated me on my score and said i passed so i was stoked. So i walked next store with my scores to the marine office and the OSO told me i needed a better score! Fat liberal women do not belong in the military, she couldn't pass a PFT even if her life depended on it!!

Dude...the exclamation point is not the only possible form of punctuation...
Second, how ever much coffee you've been drinking, I want you to cut it in half.
