V-2 DIVISION - THE GREEN SHIRT 'GRIM REAPERS' OF THE CATAPULTS - 6" Ace Novelty, Tokyo

 

 

The crewmen in Air Department’s V2 Division are tasked with a responsibility to safely launch and recover aircraft on the flight deck. Although they are well known as the quintessential green shirts, few understand the grease and the glory of their unique job.

Although many departments, divisions and squadrons don green jerseys, V2 division is one of the largest on the ship, with more than 200 people from three different ratings: Aviation Boatswain’s Mates (Equipment) (ABEs), Interior Communications Electricians (ICs) and Electrician’s Mates (EMs). ABEs make up about 85 percent of V2. ICs and EMs make up the other 15 percent.

Here is a Vietnamese ( I believe) manufactured Supply Department patch.  Looks like the banner for the command name was left open.

Nice large patch about 7 inches high
