Studying the images I see there are pipes running along both sides of the hull, I take it they are fuel lines?

Guessing they are aviation fuel lines

That’s what I thought, like her younger siblings did

I’m in the process of building a Langley, what type of wood did they use on the deck?

Anyone have a good idea what camoflage scheme USS Langley, AV-3 was in at the time of her sinking? Doesn't look dark enough to be Measure 1.......

From this photo when she was scuttled by torpedoes, apparently there was no camouflage.

A page back, I posted a photo from the book "Every Day a Nightmare", which shows Langley in Australia, just before her fateful voyage.

Looks like something is going on there - maybe a rushed and/or poorly applied coat of Cavite Blue?

Another late image of the Covered Wagon at Darwin...her camo scheme was based on funnel smoke and coffee grounds IIRC. :smallsmile:

Hello all- I've just read David Winkler's excellent book on USS LANGLEY.
I have 1:700 kits of both LANGLEY & USS WRIGHT. According to Winkler's book, they were both in for service in 1930.... Visions of a possible diorama featuring these vessels entered my head. Are there photos depicting this, does anyone know ? I'd like to do this, however, if they weren't docked end to end or outboard one other ? It probably isn't going to work, for my purposes.
Do such photos exist ? Any info or leads here are truly helpful & appreciated !! I also emailed the naval museum in Norfolk & am awaiting a reply, hopefully.....
Thanks !!

After returning to the West Coast, Wright subsequently made a winter training cruise to the Caribbean between 2 February and 26 March 1937 and then, after her return to San Diego, departed the United States West Coast on 18 April 1937 in company with the aircraft carrier USS Langley for fleet problems that stretched to the Hawaiian Islands.
That was on Wikipedia. But you'd have to update Langley to seaplane tender for that second meeting.
