You're going to want plenty of escorts for the Lexington (I'd say at least 40 ASW points) and I'd put her in an Escort Task Force rather than Air Combat. Escort will help, in my experience, keep things afloat and you can't react to enemy units. If you still have flight deck operations, crank the CAP up to 50%, allocate 20% to training, and 30% rest, have 50% of your SBDs/TBDs on ASW patrols to harass any subs sent your way and the rest on training/rest, use waypoints to steer far south of any Japanese LBAs (hello Tahiti?), select cruise speed (slow but safe) for your task force, and chug across the Pacific to Pearl. You'll get there eventually but you're going to need the Lady Lex alive so that's ok. Be sure to crank up the repair priority on the Lexington to High or Critical once you get her into the yard. I never have AKs, APs, or Support type vessels on anything but Low priority unless they are the only thing being fixed in the yard. I can wait for an APA or AVD to get fixed, not warships that can bring the fight to the enemy.
