Lex took awhile to sink, and the abandoning ship operation functioned smoothly, consequently Lexington's casualties were fortunately not as heavy as they could've been. See the USS Lexington's association website, odds are they will have a list of her crewmen lost during the battle. Make sure your not looking for the new Lexington...she too fought in WWII but still exists.
