USS Langley (CV-1/AV-3) was the United States Navy’s first aircraft carrier, converted in 1920 from the collier USS Jupiter (Navy Fleet Collier No. 3), and also the US Navy’s first turbo-electric-powered ship.

Langley was used as an experimental aircraft carrier, developing techniques and procedures and training aircrew.

Following another conversion to a seaplane tender, Langley fought in World War II. On 27 February 1942, while ferrying a cargo of USAAF P-40s to Java, she was attacked by nine twin-engine Japanese bombers of the Japanese 21st and 23rd naval air flotillas and so badly damaged that she had to be scuttled by her escorts.

I interrupt this boat spam to bring you progress on another boat.😋 I finished #USSLangley 's bow last night. I had to hand sew a red ribbon to a blue one then construct the bow in two pieces and sew it together. I need to sew on the corner embellishments on the tails. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4C_3AHDaaG/?igshid=n34cq5kmpbp9
