USN:
USS Wasp (CV-7) at anchor in Casco Bay, Maine, 25 March 1942
A radio-controlled Radioplane TDD-1 target drone is catapulted from battleship USS New York. Chesapeake Bay, VA, USA. September 1943.
USS Bataan CVL-29, in the Panama Canal heading east. Oct 1945
USS Tinian (CVE-123) went cradle-to-grave in mothballs. Launched about 48 hours after the Japanese surrender, the US Navy quietly declared the ship “accepted” without ceremony and then sailed the USS Tinian straight into the mothball fleet.
