1st US Aircraft Carrier: USS Langley (CV-1)

[snafusmith]

The USS Langley (CV-1/AV-3) was the United States Navy's first aircraft carrier, converted in 1920 from the collier USS Jupiter (AC-3), the first electrically propelled ship of the United States Navy. After yet another conversion, from carrier to seaplane tender, she fought in World War II and was so damaged by Japanese bombing attacks that she was sunk by her escorts on 27 February, 1942. The Langley was named after Samuel Pierpont Langley, an American pioneer in aircraft development.

Damn! Great job on this man!

The transparency you used on the little beams holding up the deck must've taken a lot of time, great job and determination.

Snafusmith... that is FANTASTIC work! I love the detail you put into it!

I have no idea when your 1939 mod starts (1939?), but one has to remember, CV-1 became AV-3 in 1937... the Langley had half her flight deck removed and was nothing more then a seaplane tender in WWII, not an aircraft carrier. She was sunk ferrying planes south of Java, and was not a combat carrier in WWII.

Still, you can always stretch the truth if you want... it is Civ4 afterall!

Once again Snafu, that is GREAT WORK my man... keep it up! Can't wait to see what's next.

I was pleasantly surprised to see such a faithful reproduction of the Langley produced. It must have taken a long time to do, and required great dedication on your part. Bravo Zulu (US Navy flags for well done!)

Very respectfully,
