I served aboard her from 1974-1978. Nothing but wonderful memories. A big part of me is and will always remain aboard The LADY LEX! I think of her almost every day of my life.
i wass on a tour 2 years ago and i snuck off into a room taped off with no lights on i was scared as sh** i took a picture for the flash and i saw a reepy ass manican i fell and got a concussion ive learned my lesson
OMG!!! Thank you for uploading this!! I was there, I think, if this was the cruise where the Blue Angels also performed for us, then one hit the sound barrier as it zipped by the ship only a couple hundred feet off the water. So cool seeing a lot of familiar faces in this vid. I was on Side-Crew (Deck - 2nd Div.)
Awesome footage!
Thank you
1984-1987

When I was a cadet Lt. in NJROTC we spent a week on the Lady Lex for flight ops...what a blast! Good times!
