That's the one (classification IX-64) One of the two training ships used to train pilots and flight deck personell (the other one was USS Sable, IX-81). The two ships were converted from paddle-wheel steamers and thus became the only freshwater, coal-powered and paddle-wheeled aircraft carriers. Based in Chicago, the ships trained more than 17,000 carrier pilots far away from enemy mines and submarines. Last edited by Ostfriese; 02-23-24 at 01:48 PM. |

As far as I recall yes but I almost lost a finger due to having my hand over one of the cylinder exhaust outlets
