I have absolutely no idea why the USS Los Angeles (ZR-3) blimp is included in this set. The Los Angeles was decommissioned in 1932 and dismantled in 1939, so it definitely did not survive until the 25th Century.

The U.S. Navy's dirigible Los Angeles is shown upside down after a turbulant wind from the Atlantic flipped the 700-foot airship on its nose at Lakehurst, N.J., in 1926. The ship slowly righted itself and there were no serious injuries to the crew of 25.
