Michael,
The note is in reference to the third photo of USS Lexington (CV-16) captioned:
"July 15, 1963: USS Lexington CVS-16 location not available."

The Lex was home ported in Pensacola, Florida, and operated in the Gulf of Mexico as a training carrier. I served aboard her from April, 1961 - September, 1963. Thanks for a very informative site.

Regards,
