On U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, flight deck shirts play a crucial role in indicating different roles and responsibilities amidst the controlled chaos of flight operations. Each shirt color represents a specific function: yellow for aircraft handling officers, green for catapult and arresting gear personnel, blue for aircraft handling crews, purple for fuel handlers, brown for plane captains, red for ordnance handlers, and white for safety observers. These vibrant hues not only aid in quick identification but also underscore the intricate coordination required for safe and efficient flight deck operations aboard these colossal vessels #shorts
