USS Abraham Lincoln Flight Deck Crew Uses Hand Signals for Safe Operations

The flight deck crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln uses a critical system of non-verbal hand signals to communicate amid extreme noise and hazards. This visual language enables precise coordination during high-risk operations where vocal commands are ineffective due to jet engine roar. The system is essential for safety and efficiency on the carrier’s four-acre flight deck, helping prevent accidents in a highly dangerous environment.
