Descriptionof Aircraft Carrier USS Lexington 1935
Manufacturer

The USS Lexington (CV-2) was the second aircraft carrier of Lexington class built by the United States, but the first used operationally; in fact the first was the USS Langley, but as an aircraft carrier she served only as an experimental ship. The history of the USS Lexington was troubled: in fact it was designed in 1916 to be an atypical battle cruiser, as little armored, but with heavy cannons. Because of the Washington Treaty of 1922 about the reduction of naval armaments, she was reclassified and converted into an aircraft carrier, capable of carrying a flight of 85 aircraft.

The U.S.S. "Lexington" (CV-2) was the second aircraft carrier of the "Lexington" class, but the first to actually enter operational service; the first was actually the U.S.S. "Langley", but this ship only functioned as an experimental aircraft carrier. The history of the "Lexington" was full of imponderables: Planned in 1916 as an atypical battle cruiser, namely with weak armour but heavy guns, the ship had to be converted due to the provisions of the Washington Naval Agreement. The result was the conversion of the "Lexington" into an aircraft carrier with space for a total of 85 aircraft.
