Brief Historical Description

USS Langley (CV-1) was the first aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, serving from 1922 to 1942. This ship played a key role in the development of naval aviation and served as a test platform for new solutions—including the use of deployable safety nets. During World War II, it was used for pilot training and aircraft transport. One of the aircraft carrier’s characteristic features were the so-called safety nets surrounding the flight deck, which protected the crew and aircraft from falling overboard.
