Go LEX!!! I wonder what else they have flimed on there...Pearl Harbor and a Lucky Strikes commercial...wonder what's next for the Grey Ghost...maybe its own reality show.

And I thought my dad was the only person left on the planet who smoked Lucky Strikes...

What else have they filmed ??? How 'bout my first CQ for a Navy PR flick .... and I smoked Luckies when I was desperate ... but I preferred Marlboro's ...

I'm pretty sure she's the Blue Ghost, not Grey.

The Lady LEX was the "Blue Ghost" ... so named by Tokyo Rose, no less. Several other ships have been named "Grey" ghost ...

Obviously correct...sorry guys. Brain fart...must be getting old or something.

Awesome pic BTW... I read somewhere (I think on the LEX) that she had more traps than any other carrier in history. Nice that you're a part of that.

Being a TRACOM carrier probably helped w/ that statistic.

Yeah...the next part of the sign was something like...

"...a record likely never to be broke due to the Lex's service as a the first carrier qualification training ship...."

Excellent video... I hope that wasn't a perfectly good F4U getting F*d up though.
