Title: USS LANGLEY (CV-1)
Caption: With Bought VE-7 aircraft on deck. In the background are four 4-stack destroyers and a TENNESSEE class battleship on the left and two New Mexico class battleships (center and right). Circa 1923. This photograph was labeled "Harbinger " meaning to show symbolically how the unimposing LANGLEY was the first of a line of ships which eventually drove the battleship from its primary place into the background.
