U.S.S. Lexington Carrier
USS Lexington CV-2 began as a planned battlecruiser but was converted into an aircraft carrier under the interwar naval treaty arrangements. Her large hull provided an important platform for the development of American carrier aviation. Lexington fought during the early Pacific War and was lost at the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942. She is distinct from the later Essex-class USS Lexington CV-16, which continued the name but had a different design and much longer service record.
Conversion from a battlecruiser hull produced a large, fast carrier under naval treaty arrangements. Lexington helped develop American carrier operations before its loss at the Coral Sea in May 1942, an early battle fought chiefly through opposing aircraft.
