Caption 1: United States naval official and members of the Congressional Committee on Naval Affairs examining a model that shows how battle cruisers may be converted into airplane carriers by utilizing the original hull and altering the superstructure
-
Caption 2: Proposed plane carrier with anti-torpedo blister, three protective bulkheads, and flared horizontal funnels to save crew from sucked-back smoke and fumes
-
Caption 3: If our unfinished battle cruisers, designed to appear as in the upper photograph, are converted into aircraft carriers, planes will have an unobstructed 900-foot deck for taking off and landing. In the illustration above, the telescoping masts are indicated by dotted lines. The derrick at the right lifts hydro-airplanes from the sea surface to the deck
