Lexington-class aircraft carrier

The Lexington-class aircraft carriers were a group of United States Navy ships built in the 1920s, designed to serve as large, versatile vessels capable of launching and recovering aircraft at sea. Named after notable battleships, these carriers had extensive flight decks, allowing them to deploy air power quickly and efficiently during naval operations. They contributed to the development of modern naval aviation tactics and technology. Though some were completed and served during World War II, most became obsolete due to rapid advancements in aircraft and ship design, leading to their eventual decommissioning.
