Description

The military, particularly the U.S. Navy, has been important in the development of San Diego.  One way the San Diego Aerospace Museum acknowledges this is with models of two aircraft carriers.  USS Langley (CV-1) was America's first aircraft carrier.  It was converted from the collier USS Jupiter, and served from 1922 to 1942.  USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) was commissioned in 1989.  Displacing around 105,000 tons, "Abe" is nearly six times heavier than Langley.
