The first aircraft carrier, USS Langley (CV-1), started the tradition of color-coded jerseys in the early 1920s. Each color represents a different responsibility for the maintainers on the flight deck and in the hangar bay. This visual communication of color helps to ensure coordination and the safety of the equipment and crew.
