The Navy also had two dirigibles in the 1930s that could launch and recover
fighter planes while in flight.

I just read that the Shenadoah towed a target for the USS Texas
anti-aircraft guns with success. The target was 50' long 10' in
diameter and was peppered by the Texas at 3000 feet. An interesting use
for the lighter-than air ship.
