I am hoping for CVN78 to be named after USS America - recently sunk off east
coast. "wdossel" wrote in message ...

I am hoping for CVN78 to be named after USS America - recently sunk off east coast. I'm still holding out for LANGLEY (CV-1, CVL-27), LEXINGTON (CV-2, CV-16) or UNITED STATES (CV-58). |

That would've been, what, about 1938 or so?

I thought the SBDs were replacing the Vindicators by then, but it
sounds like you were there, and I surely wasn't! |

Believe it ot not, the Gyrenes got the 1st operational SBD's in late 1940, VMB-2, then VMB-1 in early 1941. The Enterprise received the 1st SBD-2s, (VB-6) at the end of 1942, as well as VB-2 on the Lexington. The Ranger got received SBD-3s (VS-41) in November 1942. |

I don't know...USS UNITED STATES seems to be jinxed. First one cnx'd
by Truman administration, second one renamed to USS TRUMAN.... Actually, the *first* USS United States was a pretty successful ship, including winning a rather well-known single-ship duel with HMS Macedonian back in the War of 1812. Of course, she did come to a sad end (as CSS United States, believe it or not). http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/s...u/u-states.htm |
