Editing Deckhand

[[Image:Galactica's deckhands.jpg|Chief Galen Tyrol and his deckhands.|thumb|right]] 

'''Deckhands''' are multi-faceted enlisted personnel on [[battlestar (RDM)|battlestars]] who prepare and maintain Colonial [[Viper (RDM)|fighters]] and [[Raptor|reconnaissance vehicles]] for flight and turnaround, as well as assume other maintenance duties throughout the vessel.

Also nicknamed "knuckledraggers," deckhands are tasked with keeping the limited number of Vipers and Raptors ready at all times for [[Combat Air Patrol]]s, Raptor [[The Fleet (RDM)|intra-Fleet]] shuttle flights, and large-scale engagements with [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] forces. 

[[Uniforms (RDM)|Deckhand jumpsuits]] come in two colors. Orange jumpsuits are worn by repair and maintenance personnel, while yellow jumpsuited personnel (often nicknamed "lemonheads" due to their yellow helmet) are vehicle signalers on deck, but also perform the same maintenance tasks as those wearing orange jumpsuits. 

Frequently seen deckhands include [[Galen Tyrol]], [[Cally Tyrol]], [[Diana Seelix]], [[James Lyman]] and [[Anthony Figurski]]. On ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'', deckhands were overseen by the highest-ranking and most experienced non-commissioned officer, Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol, before he is [[Escape Velocity|demoted]]. Chief Petty Officer [[Peter Laird]], ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''{{'|s}} former high-ranking deckhand, assumed this position prior to his death during the [[Gaeta's Mutiny|mutiny]]; Tyrol later resumed this post, leading the human/[[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] repair teams as they attempted to maintain ''Galactica''{{'|s}} structural integrity. Specialist [[Dealino]] assumed the position as chief of the deck when Tyrol was arrested for helping [[Sharon Valerii|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]] abduct [[Hera Agathon]] {{TRS|Someone to Watch Over Me|Islanded in a Stream of Stars|Daybreak, Part I}}.
