USS Lexington (CV-2) was the second unit of the Lexington class – originally planned as a battlecruiser. After the limitations imposed by the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922, she was converted into an aircraft carrier and played an important role in the development of American naval aviation. In 1935, USS Lexington was one of the most advanced ships of its type in the world, capable of carrying up to 85 aircraft. It was widely used during maneuvers and fleet exercises, and during World War II took part in the initial operations in the Pacific, before being sunk in 1942 during the Battle of the Coral Sea.

It helps reproduce details, choose the correct paint scheme, and properly mark structural elements.
