plane carriers.
The interiors of the Lexington will
be quite different from the space
plans below decks on most naval ves-.
seis. There will be ample space to
store flying machines as well as eleva-!
tors and cranes with which to hoist
them up from below preparatory to
hopping off from the flying deck.
Because of the minimum deck ap­
paratus the Lexington seems unusual­
ly low In the water. The long sweep
of flying deck, broken only by a mas­
sive combined funnel enclosure set
nt one side of the hull, resembles a
marine drill ground. Tlie elevators
are so constructed as to come flush
with the flying deck making an un­
broken flying surface about 900 feet
long. The elevators are capable of
hoisting the largest type naval planes.
A secret contrivance is set on the deck
floor to stop landing airplanes within
a distance of several hundred feet.
This equipment is said to be fool proof
nnd to prevent possibility of any mis­
hap In landing during a rough sea.

consists of eight 8-lnch .50 caliber
long-range rifles nnd twelve 5-inch .50-
callber anti aircraft guns capable of
warding off destroyers as well as ene­
my aircraft attacks. These latter
guns nre placed In groups of three at
strategic points about the ship which
facilitates «oncentrnted and accurate-
l.v directed fire as well as rapid sup-
ply of ammunition.
The flying deck will accommodate
at one time the entire ship's comple­
ment of set-up airplanes and still
leave sufficient room for a take off.
Near the bow is a newly adopted de­
vice for launching seaplanes.
