USS Langley (CV-1) off Norfolk, 1923
Here we see the first American aircraft carrier, USS Langley (CV-1), off Norfolk in 1923, the year after she was commissioned. From this angle the nature of her conversion from a collier is clear, with the flight deck carried on a framework above the original hull, giving her an open sided hanger.
