United States Navy - 10,000 Ton Aircraft Carrier (1925)

[Graham1973]

This is the last of the post-Washington Treaty designed carriers covered in the 1st volume of USN 'Springstyle' design books. It's a small 10,000 ton Aircraft Carrier that looks like a 'regularized' version of the USS Langley (CV-1) conversion. Of note is that the armament is purely anti-surface (4 x single casemated 6inch guns.) this ship would have been entirely dependant on it's aircraft and surface escort for anti-air defence.
