I don't know. We did not have these lines on the flight deck in my day. They may be reference points for aircraft directors. I'm not sure.

It is exactly like that. The lines are new. That's why I'm asking. Isn't a family member of yours serving on an aircraft carrier so you could ask when the opportunity arises?

Yes I have a grandson, poopeye, serving aboard Nimitz. Nimitz is at sea and it would be nearly impossible to contact him while they are underway.(OPSEC=Operational Security) He is an Operations Specialist(radar tech). He works in CIC(Combat Information Center) I doubt if he knows what those lines are for. When I can I will ask him.

May be, this lines so new. They can be found only on Roosevelt but not on any other carrier. I will keep my eyes open where I can also discover such lines.
