CATAPULT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR CV-63,
CVN-65, and CV-67
The control system consists of those panels, lights,
and switches that are used to operate a catapult
throughout the various operational phases. The
following is a description of the control system
components.
Deckedge Control Panel
The deckedge control panel (figs. 4-62 and 4-63) is
located on the bulkhead in the catwalk outboard of the
associated catapult. The panel is located such that a
clear and unimpeded view of the launching officer and
hook up crew is assured. The deckedge control panel
contains lights and switches used for catapult control
during launching, retraction, and bridle tensioning
phases.
