Salvage Sailor Posted January 17, 2018 Share #65 Posted January 17, 2018 USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN (CV/CVA/CVS-39) Essex class 'Long Hull' aka Ticonderoga class in service 1945 to 1968. Lake Champlain had a unique modernization history. She was the only Essex-class ship to receive the SCB-27 conversion, which was a rebuild of the superstructure, flight deck and other features, but not also receive the SCB-125 conversion, which would have given her an angled flight deck and hurricane bow. Therefore, she had the distinction of being the last operational US aircraft carrier with an axial (straight not angled) flight deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
